Philosophy of Photography

The Artist as Creator - A Personal Philosophy of Art and Creative Practice.

Art and creativity in people's consciousness are all things to all people and a profound reflection of man's relationship with life. It facilitates an intimate process of communication with self and the world we build around us, reflecting memories, emotions, drives, and intents. Photography is a confluence of chance, observation, and memory, shaping our process of self-individuation through change and renewal, learning, and understanding. This ongoing stream of creative experience explores the mysterious, the sublime, the unexpected, the often obscure and otherworldly, bringing ephemeral moments of profound meaning into being. Photography is a celebration of life.

Our engagement with photography, culture, and the constant flux of the world around us defines our sense of destiny and who we are as people living in different cultures, from small groups of people to whole societies. Culture is a social heirloom passed down the generations which imparts significance and meaning to our way of life and remains open to re-interpretation and manipulation and is in a constant state of flux.

Photography and culture is an ever-changing entity that shapes the world as we know it. It's a celebration of living in all its complexity and an intimate expression of the human condition.
