Commissions

My favourite indulgence is the commission. It is such a privilege to be invited into such a personal space and trusted to be able to represent it. This process requires a combination of honesty and true communication to enable a successful collaboration. The commission quite often involves a place which has huge sentimental significant to the client, consequently, the process of interpreting what and how they perceive that space and the attachment they have to it, is crucial to the process. By doing this, I am immersed in a borrowed experience that is flooded with nostalgia and sentimentality, and the trust and honesty of this shared experience appeals to my romantic nature.

I prefer to have visited a place to get a full understanding of the light and any other sensory experiences, however this is not always possible and so I am happy to work from photographs with the client.

Below are several examples of commissions which endeavour to capture a memory or state of mind and all the senses and emotions that resonate by association. All commissions here already own their place somewhere, however, please feel free to use them for inspiration and or contact me to help me realise yours.
