We all have influences, things that drive us, well my main influences have been how light plays on our landscape. Of course we all know light is the key to photography and to getting great pictures. I believe its the soul of an image, without it we have nothing. I also love shooting in monochrome as I have intimated before. for me creating images with light and in monochrome are my biggest influences in trying to get better at what I do.

Some of my favourite pieces of work
