Emotion
An image needs to be more than just a graphical representation of an object or place.
A well crafted photograph needs to tell a story, stimulate the emotions, create intrigue or elicit some reaction.
For me, artistic photography
is almost all about
emotion.

I bought my first DSLR camera early in 2010, initially with thoughts of taking better quality travel pics. At that point, I had absolutely no comprehension of the journey I had just started. By mid 2012, photography had become an obsession and I considered myself a serious enthusiast. This was a time of intense learning and I explored most photography genres, but I soon discovered that my primary focus and passion was landscape photography.
Nowadays I am not one for bright happy travel shots (they're far too common and generally sterile). Instead, I prefer the darker side (more emotion and mystery). I also enjoy street portraiture and will sometimes bias an overseas trip with this specifically in mind.
As humans, we process light very differently to a camera. Like many landscape photographers, I have developed my own style while working towards producing images which are closer to how I see, feel and experience the scenery around me. I am not one of those "purists" who obsess about making it all happen in the camera. For me, It is more about objectives and the final result. Consequently, post-production has become a very important part of my work-flow.
Although I have been influenced by other photographers in the past, these days I tend to just "do my own thing", and that means shooting what I like, how I want and generally enjoying the process with a view towards trying to produce images which satisfy me.
I have been published (National Geographic, Australian Photography Magazine, several online articles/interviews eg. ViewBug, LifePixel) and had some success in various competitions, but I've reached a point where I no longer pursue such things with any serious intent, although I do passively share my work via social media and various websites (like this one).
That said, there is no doubt that It is quite satisfying when others find your work to their liking. In 2014 I sold an image to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), in Washington, D.C. The image was printed 2.36 metres tall x 7.46 metres wide (24.5 ft x 7.75 ft) and stands in the foyer of the organisation's global headquarters (take a look).
It was very satisfying to see what they had done with my photograph but, these things are not what drive me. I can't imagine living life without being able to capture those special moments and places.
