"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes". Marcel Proust

 

Hanging out of a helicopter at up to three thousand meters above the Piedmont landscape I found a new perspective for my ever curious photographers eye. A new dimension, where my camera becomes my paintbrush and the landscape my ever changing canvas, a brave new world suspended between reality and abstraction. A world where I feel I belong, continuously drawing me in to new levels of discovery.

 

These photographs are part of a book project and itinerant exhibition in collaboration with Regione Piemonte. in phase of completion. Documenting the Wine harvest of Piedmont as seen from above, together with graphical images of the vineyards in Autumn, when the seasons colours transform this unique landscape.

Reportages

A selection of my favourite black and white work from my early years during my various travels. Captured moments of everyday life where the subjects in most cases are unaware of being immortalised. The results of which became my first exhibitions in London.

Macro World

My aerial research into the colour and form of the landscape has led me into searching for new ways of observing the same territory, It was a natural choice for me to use macro photography. Taking my camera lens from three thousand metres down to three centimetres, a kind of free fall into the landscape, discovering analogy of form and composition.
