I took this HDR stack in the Ginza District of Tokyo on a rainy Saturday afternoon where the roads had been closed to vehicles so people could stroll around shopping. The combination of the gloomy weather and HDR stacking has created an interesting double-exposure effect with 'ghosts' walking the street surrounded by colourful umbrellas.
As a visual artist my creative practice is rooted in my love of photography, capturing images that evoke a reaction in the viewer. It started with my first camera – a Kodak 110 instamatic – progressing through 35mm to Polaroids and 120mm film; ‘going digital’ while lecturing at university in the 1990s using Apple’s QuickTake and the Kodak/Nikon DCS. My creative practice uses a bewildering combination of film cameras, instant cameras and digital equipment to capture my images then I experiment with different printing, media, mounting and framing techniques to create my pieces.
