I invite you to follow me in a intimate journey in 2013 where I will open the gates of my personal world to you. I will show you not only my day to day work but my personal projects and how I operate hoping to inspire you to be curious and explore your inner world too. As you probably know photography for me is primarily a tool to celebrate life. But how this came about? When I started photography almost 20 years ago my camera was a tool of discovery and became almost instantly the extension of my eyes. It gave me the possibility to research my long time curiosity: “Who or what are we as human beings?” What is hidden within this body? Will I ever been able to touch this delicate soul? How could I capture it?

Since inception, my search has always been to reach the core of who we are.

I became my first subject to explore… my eternal companion

Through trials and errors I accidentally discovered multiple exposures and decided to give it a try. It was love at first sight.

The multi layered image seems to me to be more realistic in a way as it uncovers the multiple layers of our inner world.

Multiple exposures is so easy and fun to experiment with a digital camera. Most new models have this setting in their menu. But you might have to look for it as it is not always obvious. I invite you to try it out. It’s great fun and you are most likely to be blown away with your results. It takes some practice if you have a particular idea in mind but if I were to start I would only go with the instinct. A fun way to experiment at home for example is to take your pet’s portrait & then put yours on top, a blast!

Feel free to post your results on my facebook page to explore your vision. Have fun.

I have started a new venture last October 2009. I am writing reviews for the acclaimed Register Hardware, the sister site of the Register, the UK’s biggest and best known IT website. For people that don’t know it yet the site has been called the Private Eye of IT. My role is to test some of the latest camera models for amateur, semi professional & professional photographers & give my impression. It gives me a good excuse to wonder the streets of London by day & by night while testing  the latest technology & while abroad on my many travels  to capture what catches my eye. It keeps me up to date with what’s hot & new & gives me the chance to go back to my roots & just have fun. Doing this is bringing me back some 15 years ago when I started photography. I used to wander the streets to capture life as I felt it. That was also why I went on to study Documentary Photography in Wales, Newport. Although I didn’t pursue a typical photojournalism route, my photographic style still reflects that background. It is creative story telling inspired by beautiful emotions & a quest to celebrate life. In my experience, my camera opened up a hidden world that had been invisible to me up to that point. I would love to inspire you to do the same: take pictures of what touches your heart and see the story unfold.

Here are the few models I have reviewed: Nikon D3000, Canon Powershot S90, Samsung ST550, Pentax K-x, Canon G11, Nikon D3s, Samsung WB5000, more to follow. Click here to access my page on the Register Hardware website with all the reviews I have written & photographed so far.

Here are a few of my test images. Double click on the image to see the full image & feel free to leave a comment to let me know which one is your favourite.

If you curious to know a little more about what I do in a professional sense, I invite you to grab a ProPhoto Magazine. On page 25, you will get in touch with my background, my techniques and some tips. Click here to view the article. Have a browse and feel free to comment and let me know what you think about photography. I would be interested to know what drives you to take a picture? How do you feel when you manage to capture a beautiful moment or emotion? Do you like experimenting and how? What do you do with your digital images? If you’re not familiar with this magazine yet, here is the cover of the September issue. I take this opportunity to show you some of my early work when I was studying my degree in Documentary Photography in Wales, Newport. These were times of black & white films and darkrooms.
