It was over 35 years ago that I realized that

I really enjoyed photographing women. I soon found out that I really didn’t know

Just as a composer has to arrange a piece of music, deciding which instruments will work together, which sounds flow and which clash, so it is that a photographer has to construct powerful images from the visual overload hitting them from all directions. To picture a scene through a photographer’s eyes is very different to just looking at it for what it is.

Digital cameras offer today’s photographer

incredible fl exibility. No more carrying two or

more SLR bodies loaded with different fi lm stocks, or a

bag of colour correction fi lters to counterbalance

unwanted colour shifts in different lighting conditions

(well, you can still carry fi lters – more on that later).
