Photography is a process of enquiry, a discipline of contemplation, a register of the real as experienced, a representation of the experience, expressed through a matrix of skilful technical choices on how to manipulate light with glass.

​

This process requires a link between what the camera does and what the mind notices, what it looks for, what fascinates and attracts the eye and demands further engagement, be it mechanical or psychological, preferably both.

​

The process is not linear; light behaves as both wave and particle and humans behave at both a conscious and subconscious level.

​

The photograph exists within this realm, a sequence of triggers that activate mechanical processes bringing forth an emulation of the real, as observed and interpreted, an encounter between dream and reason.

​

The frame chosen to represent this encounter is a pause in the flow, a portion of measured time, an application of concepts and protocols that will allow it to be translated into a visual medium that others can engage with.

​

If the process is successful, the result will promote a silent dialogue, determined not only by individual cognition and perception but also by something else beyond language and definition.
