ARTIST
STATEMENT I graduated from Goldsmiths College, London, in 1970 with a degree in graphic design, and worked in design and photographic studios in the south east of England for a few years. In 1976 I started my own freelance business, Stonecastle Graphics, and I now specialise in creating, designing and Œpackaging¹ illustrated books for major UK publishers. I am a designer, photographer and artist I have exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and my photographs have appeared on the covers and pages of numerous books. I am fascinated by light and pattern in both naturalistic and urban environments, and my photographs attempt to capture the effects of sunlight, texture and shadow in everyday moments. I also combine traditional photography with digital manipulation to create multi-layer graphics and posters. In
September 2001 I was in New York with my wife and daughter and
we witnessed the devastating terrorist attack on the Twin Towers
of the WTC on the morning of the 11th. I captured some of those
moments on film. Some of these images have been published in national
newspapers and magazines and appeared in a special memorial exhibition
³Impact² at the Old Saatchi Gallery in London on the
first anniversary of the attack all proceeds were donated to the
official NY Firefighters Disaster Fund. More of my 9/11 pictures
can be seen on my website I am continuing to experiment with photography, exploring traditional and digital image-making in both black & white and colour.
