Black and white surreal photographs created using conventional film and darkroom techniques.

Through the unique process of conventional photography images are created using complex darkroom techniques on silver gelatin photographic paper adhering to the highest archival standards.

The mystical and ethereal images abound with symbolism and poetry.

The artist is the sole craftsperson from capturing the original images on film, the darkroom manipulations using several enlargers and the occasional application of photographic transparent oil paints to the surface of the finished photograph. No computers or assistants are used.
