His landscape photography is about the quiet mood of the place. he says:
Making photographs is both an emotional and tactile experience for me. Some emotional connection between the scene and me must exist to initiate the image in my mind; the real life situation first captures me in a sense. I then strive to produce photographs that convey the emotion and sense of place of the original image to those who view the finished work.
He uses traditional darkroom methods to develop the prints on fibre based paper and each print is individually made.

Grass Trees are very hard to represent. I have numerous failures.
