When photographic processes were invented they were hailed as a mirror of reality, recording images to which truth could be ascribed. I prefer instead to subvert photographic truth by substituting a reality of my own creation. Even something as intangible as a thought or emotion has a landscape within the mind, and it is these that I visualize in my exploration. Each image is constructed without digital intervention from a scene that I have created in my studio.
