Premio Combat Prize

’Iceage’ and the supporting images are taken from the series ’WHAT WE BUY’ (inspired by the series WHAT WE BOUGHT by Robert Adams). In this series of portraits I am looking at our habitual use of, involvement in and dependency on technology in everyday work and play.
I am fascinated by ’us’, by what we do, and what we are doing to this world. I try and tell the stories of the people I photograph, how we live today and the land where I live. My family and the places where I grew up are constant subjects I always return to. The ties and knots that keep us together and divide us. I live along way from them, perhaps this is why I photograph them obsessively whenever I can. 
With a consistently developing fascination of the land and subjects I discover where I live, I try to create visual poems working images together whether in triptychs, series or multi-imaging. I find working images together tell a fuller story, the need to create an ’ image that thinks’ being foremost in my intent.
”Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, 
 the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.” Mary Oliver .
