Artist's statement:
David bought his first SLR when he was 16, ever since then he has been fascinated by photography and the creative possibilities of the medium, particularly in relation to low light situations where the camera behaves totally differently to our own eyes.

In 1992 he was introduced to Photoshop, it changed his life, suddenly images could be changed and manipulated to reflect his own vision sometimes in ways that would be impossible with conventional techniques.

Since 1997, when David got his first digital camera he has worked exclusively in the digital domain and has been developing the concept of “irreality”, somewhere that is between real and unreal. His pictures live in cyberspace and occasionally surface from the depths of his PC to appear in printed form and become real.

David now undertakes commissions for weddings, artists and local musicians.
David also designs specialist websites for artists, authors and musicians.
