Stairways represent steps to a destination, nowhere and infinity. A beginning, transition or the end... a journey.

This series showcases the Rotunda (and a side staircase) at Tate Britain. There is a sense of space and a strong visual connection between the principal and lower levels. The material of the Rotunda reflect light everywhere yet, from certain vantage points, darkness. In minimalist black and white, my aim was to make a series featuring the Rotunda's striking curves captured with a fisheye to present its architecture with mystery, intrigue and wonder.

Bio
I am a solicitor by profession and I live in London.

I started photography in 2016 and learn mostly through experimenting and lateral application. Particularly, exploring the potential of light, motion, shadows and reflections to evoke emotion, wonder and curiosity.

Not long after I took up photography, I encountered a permanent interruption to my work life.

My "photography bubble" enables me to step into a parallel dimension that is experiential, innovative and healing. I am in a special space when behind the lens... and my way of expressing positive energy into fine art photography.
