"Photography is a subtractive medium - in terms of both composition and exposure. We place boundaries in the form of a frame around our subject, and choose also the duration of our exposure. In another, perhaps more essential sense photography, is an additive medium: in that we begin, always, with darkness. And contained by it - the sensor or film. Our eye provides the measure for what is in front of us, but we commit to the vision by adding light..." Born 1972, the youngest of four children. BA (Mass Communications, 1995) Macquarie University.
