About / Photography

As a photographer I am interested in what is the essence of photography along with the processes involved in production. What is key to the making of any photograph is always light. With this in mind I have found myself making work about light and photography, and the relationship between these two things.
Central to my practice is camera-less photography, however it is not excusivley so.
