The reason I take photographs has changed over the years. What started out as an obsessional hobby where I would take my camera on every outing, no matter how mundane that outing would be, and take photographs at every opportunity was because I was drawn to do this.

Then the hobby turned into a purpose. 

Even though I have been photographing on a professional level since I was twenty-three I soon realised, when I was twenty-nine and my little Cecilia came along, that  I’d not fully understood the magnitude of this art medium. 

I suddenly had this beautiful little being and every photograph I took of her felt like I had just made a new time capsule. And that was the moment. 

She became my why. 

And along the way I found true purpose in taking a photograph, capturing a moment, and looking for the real emotion in a moment.
