"My mother was a creative person; she gave me my first camera and encouraged me to take pictures whenever we travelled. She also opened my eyes to art and graffiti at an early age, and was the one who actually taught me how to drop shadow letters in primary school. Throughout my teens I was taking a camera with me and was documenting mischief along the train tracks, then eventually I began to take this documentation and art of photography more seriously. I never planned on being a photographer, it was just something I grew into because of the things I was interested in and the people I was around.
To me, the best photographers are ones who are able to immerse themselves in their environments and surroundings, are able to relate to their subjects, and importantly have a distinct style that ultimately produces iconic imagery. I feel very strongly about the power of documentation. I find myself getting pissed off when I see things change and evolve in a manner in which it�s history and culture are erased. Unfortunately this is a fact of life, but we do have the power to preserve this through documentation. I get a kick out of capturing a moment in time that will never be repeated but will ultimately last forever as a negative and as an image in peoples minds."
