Organic Form

Land, water and weather, and the shapes they make when nobody is arranging them. A ball of spinifex on red ground. Cloud caught on a forested ridge. Rock, ice and a sky lit from underneath. These are the frames I make when there is no brief and no one to photograph, which is to say the ones I make for myself.

Some of it is self-commissioned, days set aside to drive somewhere and wait for the light. Some was shot for interiors: large prints made for hotels, offices and private homes, where a wall needs something that will still be worth looking at in ten years. Both come from the same place. The earth does the composing; the work is in being there at the right hour and keeping the frame simple enough to let a form stand on its own.

Everything here is available as a print, in editions sized for a room. Enquiries through the contact page; sizes, finishes and lead times are on the prints and licensing page.
