ARTIST STATEMENT
As an upcoming artist it is important for me to create moments that are memorable for the client but also myself. Indulging myself into it and having some interest with the customers I come across.
I will always take the time the time to talk to my clients as what they want is the most important part of what I do.
My work has been greatly influenced by artist such as Edward Honaker and since starting in 2019 I have looked up to Les Arnott who is a retired photographer in my local area, Cannock, a once quite little town, now expanding into an area of interest and opportunity.
A massive part of my success and motivation is the equipment I use. Currently I only use one camera, which is a Canon R6 with a RF24-240mm F4-F6.3 Lens. On the side I also sometimes use my K&F Concept Tripod as well as a Canon SpeedLite 430EX.
Not only do I want to create pictures that evoke a universal memory but to further increase my knowledge improving every day til eventually I create pieces of art that can be put up in museums, and I'd also like to explore more videography, all which are posted on my YouTube.
