? Welcome

“Dreamrobber”  the idea, ..the word, …the thought… Came to me several years back while travelling on a slow train in Northern Spain, for now, it’s a home for my photographic work, and perhaps the works of others who share an approach to their work and wish to contribute to this project.

Autumn 2022 – Mainly working with drawings, photographs and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make new images, from these sources, as ever with some commercial work, using lighting and found objects on small computers, and some more straight forwards, sort of “old school” portrait style work for a local artist, single and album/EP covers, social media backgrounds and so much more.

Spring 2019 – Having spent the last half of 2018, learning (again) about how to draw, just pencil and paper, overseas in Jamaica and Malta, while re-thinking composition and tone, I was able to complete some photographic work for use by others in digital and print media, and was inspired by a gift from my friend at “art may be red but does it fly” who has re-invented the art of the miniature print, more can be found by clicking here.

Summer 2018 – Morphing ideas and taking things forwards, after some work over Christmas 2017 and a live shoot of a gig in May 2018, I find that I can not work on to many creative things at once, and writing software has been eating my time!

Summer 2015 – Finds this website moving to new hosting, as I had reached the limits on what I had, and needed to update the site’s recent pictures I have made, I also had the chance to work again with my friend Kevin Taggerty for three days in rural Wiltshire.

During 2014 – As there was less of a demand for my sports work, it gave me time to develop my skill set, change some photo gear and get to grips with some ideas and develop a style of picture that I call Cyberaphaelite and allow this thinking to permeate through my work, shoot by shoot, frame by frame, picture by picture.

Summer 2013 – As Dreamrobber, and away from the sports work which I undertake and enjoy doing, and as well as some of the more commercial things again I do, I need to focus on the development of a contemporary work style, after much thought and discussion with peers will call this Cyberaphaelite(c) – and so I plan to develop a body of work I can exhibit in within this style, and offer thanks to the painter Kevin Taggerty at www.kevintaggerty.me.uk for his encouragement and support in this matter.

Autumn and Winter 2012 – Saw the development of my work away from the landscape and sports focus it has had (mind you still shooting between 500 and 700 frames a week over the winter and editing down to 30 or so for use, which is a great discipline and has improved my eye for a shot no end…), I also started to think about the development of a style of “altered” photorealism referencing Pre-Raphaelite ideas especially backgrounds, and photographic works by people such as Tom Hunter. More on this as it unfolds.
