I am fascinated by people who create art and crafts with their hands, from nothing. As the world seems to be getting more and more tech driven, I feel there is a growing interest and demand for "Hand" made items and people that can still do things the old fashioned way and I want to showcase their craft as much as possible. Julie grows the willow, then cuts it, dries it and then creates baskets and other objects from it, she is a one woman cottage industry.It is amazing to see the process from start to finish.
i have been shooting for over 20 years. i work mainly in the lifestyle advertising genre, i shoot a lot for various stock agencies as well.my work is normally a fairly natural depiction of everyday activities, but i like to think, on a good day, to make my shots create an aspirational feel and offer the viewer a bit of escapism, or desire to be in the scene. i am a fairly easy going happy kind of guy and i want my shots and images to depict how i want to live my life. i also shoot footage, as it was a natural progression from the very narrative based stills shoots.
