I am mad about photography! Even while an undergraduate at the National College of Art and Design I was fascinated with images of the artwork we produced and my very first real camera ( The mighty Yashica FX7 ) was bought through the college photography department. Being able to develop negatives and expose, burn, dodge and print photographs was an amazing experience but the power to manipulate modern digital files with todays computer programmes give us the ability to control like never before, everything to do with our images. With a properly exposed digital negative or a series of stepped exposures we can create something really personal and creative. Nature can be captured with our response to it in all it’s beauty and our emotion.
