"Mask of Shadows"

The shadows created by a piece of crocheted lace complement the delicate beauty of the woman's face and create a mysterious mood.

Biography: The purchase of my first 35mm camera in 1975 led to my lifelong passion for photography and the creation of images. The candid black and white work of Henri Cartier-Bresson was and continues to be a great inspiration. In the 90s I began to shoot more the natural and human environment. I gravitated towards colour film and fell in love with the rich palette of colours and detail that I could obtain by using fine grain film and shooting on a medium format camera. Some of my latest work has involved the sandwiching of 2 or more transparencies together to create montages.
