Director Statement

I have a particular interest in finding new ways to tell stories, often using my camera as a catalyst. I respond to my everyday experiences and current social issues using these as a starting point, adopting both documentary and conceptual approaches. Complex human relationships and basic emotions fascinate me. I capture the private, the unfamiliar and the different to gain and share an insight through photography, film or video installations. At the core of my work is an inquisitive exploration of the human being, trying to understand who we are.
