I would like to introduce a photographic philosophy I have called Honest Subjectivity.

The growth of this methodological concept is contingent on sharing my understanding, that what I experience as reality is not in fact reality. It is rather, a construction within my own mind, an attitude, shaped by a unique flow of information, experienced and processed within my mind alone. It is, however, a relative concept, as it is one of over seven billion unique flows and their concomitant constructions of reality, that are all currently competing for ascendancy in the environment of evolving influence, I believe we inhabit.

Inherent in this acceptance, is understanding what I as a photographer perceives as real, what a viewer of my images thinks I perceive as real, what the viewer perceives as real, and – if possible – what is actually real; and this is, if anything is real at all. This proposition replaces any idea that there are truths to be communicated in photography, with only the transmission of elaborately coded subjective perspectives and interpretations. By making myself, the photographer, a palpable part of any work I publish. Subtly within the images or overtly in accompanying text, I substantiate my subjectivity, it becomes honest.
