Biography
I am currently based in London.
Much of my artistic creativity stems from my interests in social, environmental and political issues. I imagine my work as a series of short films made out of stills. They are narratives that are built on moments of time collected over extended periods. Each story is a woven fabric of compositional and colour threads that come together to create a particular ambience intended to both emphasize my perspective on the subject matter and to, hopefully, encourage the viewer to take the narrative beyond the limits of my frame, into a direction that makes the experience of those images more vivid.
My photographs have been widely exhibited and featured in several international publications such as, Time, Newsweek, The New Yorker and The Independent Magazine. I was part of the Joop Swart Masterclass, in 2001 and was finalist for the CCF Foundation for Photography Prize in 2004. I was recently awarded first prize for the 2009 SOPA Awards and also received a high commendation for the 2009 Prix Pictet. With some friends I recently founded Deep Sleep Magazine an online publication.
