Here is one of my favourite portraits from a recent series I am still working on. I'm really loving the muted tones and the light reflecting in the model's eyes, kind of gives it something, but I can't quite think what... It felt really great getting back into portraiture, it is my great photo-love after all! I think it's given me a spark back for producing more and more again.

Over the last few months I have been experimenting a lot with abstracting the landscape. I am a little obsessed with trying to use known objects to trick our visual perceptual systems - knowing it is something - but being something else... These photo-drafts are reminding me a little of the Rorschach inkblots. (Still a lot of work to do on these though)!
