Artist statement: In my arts practice I shoot 35 mm film, documenting the everyday of Australian life, using available light, shape, tone and texture to evoke new meaning and intimacy where the presence of humans is only amplified by their absence.
Shooting analogue adds a layer to my photographic observations of the ever-changing world around us. Negatives are tangible and can’t be deleted, sitting in stark contrast to today’s screen based world.
I shot one frame at Compass Pizza that day. The image is as simple (and as complex) as my one-letter first name.

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.
