TITLE: Self Portrait

This is a self portrait in homage to the UK photographer, John Claridge. I wanted to get the same fine detail, that can only be really shown in a black and white image, to portray my own state of mind during COVID lock-down.

I am a former commercial photographer who put the camera down in 2000, taking it up again in India in 2019. I have been a runner up in the 2019 Creswick Photography Awards, a finalist in the 2020 Percival Photography Awards and have been chosen to exhibit in the 3rd Chania International Photo Festival in Crete in August, 2020. I specialize in manipulating digital photography largely in black and white.
