Languages of Light

These images were inspired by my research in observing and revealing form through the use of light. Using a single light source, I attempted to exhibit abstract shapes of the human form in its sculpture-like beauty through intense observation.

I took inspiration from the work of Irving Penn, Imogen Cunningham and, most importantly, Robert Mapplethorpe.

Thank you to my beautiful wife, Rafaelle Queiroz, for her assistance and being my model for this.

This was part of an assignment in a photography unit of my course at the Open College of the Arts (BA (Hons) in Graphic Design.) For those who are interested, my learning log can be viewed here.

Mezzo-soprano and violin virtuoso portraits

I had the pleasure of creating portrait photographs with mezzo-soprano Anna-Lena Denk-Erlich and her husband Nachum Erlich, who is a violin virtuoso and professor of violin.

Impulse | Junior Ballett Zürich's Production at Theater Winterthur

I was invited to photograph the studio- and stage rehearsals of Impulse, Ballet Zürich’s Junior Ballet evening.

It consisted of three world premieres: Entropy by Craig Davidson, Pure Coincidence by Bryan Arias, and Union in Poetry by Juliano Nunes, and was streamed live from the Theater Winterhur on the 27th of February 2021.

The streaming will remain available online and free of charge until the end of April.
