Current Projects & Commissions
Currently I am working on various projects in my spare time that have to do with photography or art and design in general. I always welcome constructive comments, suggestions and commercial enquiries and look forward to striking up a mutually beneficial dialogue with you.
Vernissage Portal
As the name already suggests, this is a web-based portal where galleries and artists alike can post, advertise and market their exhibitions and work. For further information and enquiries please contact us at: info@vernissageportal.com
Meet-the-Artist.net
A global co-operative and network of art agents and art dealers, who share the universal and collective objective to help bring together both collectors and sponsors with artists and designers, through exclusive personal introductions and management of their individual relationships with each other.
Footsteps
Through a very kind word of mouth recommendation I have been commissioned to take a series of five pictures on the topic of footsteps. They are to enhance the waiting room of an orthopaedic practice and will be mounted behind two centimetre thick plexiglas.
Quadtone Photography
I actually totally loath Photoshop. To be quite honest, I despise all image editing software. Recently, though, I was asked whether I could create a small series of very simple quadtone pictures for a friend of mine. It is with this in mind, I have set about learning how to utilise Photoshop’s quadtone feature. The pictures I have chosen are certainly very straightforward and largely taken with the equally simple camera on my Nokia N95 8GB. For this project the mobile phone’s excellent Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/5.6 AF lens, with its outstanding 5 mega pixel sensor, is ideally suited for the task at hand. The subtle mixing of colours will undoubtedly end up playing a major key in the actual composition of these pictures.
Lomography Project (a bit of photographic fun & meditation)
Recently I noticed how good as well as interesting it is to return to the basics and grass roots of photography. To this end I bought an ancient and very clapped out Diana. It leaks plenty of light and is largely held together by a mass of sticky tape and other contraptions designed to prevent light leaking into the camera and thus spoiling the film beyond practical use.
The Ten Golden Rules are most crucial to Lomography, but also candid street photography in general. They can and should be followed by everyone using compact cameras or whatever else you might have by way of a camera.
Simple Neon Light Replicas
Thanks to a further very kind word of mouth recommendation, I am currently engaged in a small commission to explore basic neon lighting images. In an effort to replicate and simulate the luminous effects of neon lighting the images will be mounted inside simple light boxes, thus illuminating the images from within.
Digital Rothkoesques
This little project of mine focuses on the creation of what I like to think of as digital Rothkoesque pictures. Printed on canvas they look very realistic and even, dare I even say it, outright beautiful.
Proteagailovca
This long term project is currently in the early stages of planning. Details will follow over the next few weeks and months.
