I like to explore ambiguity with my photography. I like to ask questions of myself and of the viewer. I try to do this by exploring different qualities of light, using slow shutter speeds to allow blur and show movement, and exploring post-processing techniques. I am always exploring the balance between what is revealed and what is hidden, trying to create enough room for the viewer to breathe life into my images via their own interpretation and imagination.
Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
