Inspired by the beauty of Aotearoa, and the power of the sunrise, and the casual drama that it creates. I love the way that New Zealand is so unique in its color combinations and brooding untamed beauty. It is a mysterious land that manages to defy your expectations -even after decades I still find myself in awe of this land and its primal drama which has the ability to shake your emotions in a cocktail of delight and sorrow. In this image I was lucky enough to have captured the moment that the sun hit the clouds at the crack of dawn, it seems that the sun "caught the night sleeping" and the light has not yet hit the clouds, we can see it as it makes it progresses across them, "caught in the act' of creating a morning -in a moment where the world hangs between night and day. There is an explosive quality to this image. The sunrises over the hills catching the trees of the line of the hillside, and the sky erupts in gold, orange-red, crimson, and the image is capped with a thick blanket of charcoal cloud. It gives this photograph an "otherworldly" mystique. Each one of my images is unique, it is true that you can group them nicely into color families, however -even those they are related they are all very unique individuals with their own characters, and their own assets. The subject matter is constantly varied, as I don't like to repeat myself, as life is too short -and there are too many beautiful things to capture and to share. As Jim Morrison said: "The whole world's a stranger, who could ever ask for more?" I love the primal elements that come through in some of my images, they are reminders that this land was forged in the hot crucible of a Super Caldera ~a mere 85 million years ago. Color Palette: #d54122 #2b1b1f #981617 #edc439 #6e151a #55171c #a09e9e #6c6968 #888688 #f4997c (You can choose to have your image reproduced in Aluminum, Canvas, Paper, or Photo-paper). Chromoluxe Reproductions: (Limited edition of 10 only for any of my images). Chromoluxe means two things: Durability and Definition. This exclusive edition of 10 images will be created using the new Chromoluxe aluminum printing technique for high-quality large format art. The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art. Very few places in the world can produce an image of this size, in this format. Not only will you have a collectible work of art, but it will be rendered in the cutting-edge format. Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid. The panel has smoothed corners and looks sleek and elegant. (You can opt for a matte finish if you prefer). Your beautiful art will be carefully packaged in a custom-made box with plenty of protection for shipping. Shipping is tracked and signed for as standard. Takes approximately three weeks to get ready to ship. *(The estimated weight is based on Canvas Gallery Wrap 1.5" deep with 1 Layer of Resin). Shipping costs will vary with the material's weight, I will provide you with an accurate quote prior to your order.

I started drawing as a child, but quickly became enamored with photography, I got my first camera at about 10 (a Box "Brownie") and started making images with that and quickly progressed to a Yoshika SLR (and electro 35). I took art as a subject from the ago of 12 to the age of 18, and also Technical Drawing for a couple of years. Soon after I discovered music and so photography took a back-seat for many years. From music I discovered computers, and when I realized the exciting potential that they offer in terms of images my inspirations took on a new lease of life. I studied Computers at University level in 1997, and loved it so much that I decided to pursue it further, and attended the National College of Design and Technology in Christchurch, NZ. It was there that I started to experiment with images in Ernest. The subject that I covered were 3D Modelling, 3D Animation, Audio Visual, The Web and CD ROM production. I experimented with Strata creating 3D models, and animations and designed The "Nova" car and the "Millennium" housing design, also a chair, the P.O.D. (Positional Orientating Digitator). This was before Steve Jobs released the iPOD. These were industrial designs, But I do have one still image from that period which I am including in my entry. That year my partner had a son, and he had health complications, and so I had to put aside art and concentrate on finding work. From there my life had been about music and computers, until my band broke up around 2007, and I suddenly found myself with lots of free time and a copy of Photoshop and a copy of Paintshop Pro.
