I paint ideas, not things. I paint primarily because I have something to say...and since the gift of eloquent language has been denied me, I use painting.
-George Frederick Watts.
In this sentence the famous English Victorian painter George Frederick Watts (1817-1904) summarized his approach to painting.
It summarizes my approach to photography for the reason that I paint poorly and lack eloquence in my writing.
I try to photograph ideas. Models, objects and settings are used to convey ideas. They are not isolated entities. They are symbols. They have been placed in an image to achieve a harmonious whole which is a visual recreation of an idea.
This does not apply to all of my images. Many simply are portrayals of feminine beauty. However some of my photographs contain a tiny “hint” to inform the viewer to look a little more deeply to discover if there is more than meets the eye with a quick glance.
