“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
- Elliott Erwitt -
From the beginning…
Hi! I’m Aaron. A Photographer based in Chelmsford, Essex.
Ever since first picking up a DSRL camera when I was studying my A Levels, which now seems like a lifetime ago! I have always been fascinated with photographing everyday ordinary things. I first started out by taking snapshots of my worldly travels, even if this was only 3 miles down the road! Watching ordinary people in the streets take out their bins (doesn’t sound very exciting I know!) and just living their ordinary day-to-day lives differently all over the world. Wildlife in different environments and sunsets on the beach in the Caribbean (Pina Colada in hand of course!).
Over the years I slowly started documenting family events, friends’ gatherings, days out, birthdays, and christmases and it was at this time I started to develop my understanding of encapsulating emotion, storytelling, and meaning into my photographs. It’s a cliche however, it is true when a photographer says ‘an image speaks a thousand words’ because it really does!
I have a passion for telling stories with my images and love bringing them to life by making the ordinary ‘extraordinary’ which means I am able to share my passion with those who wish to understand it. Being a creative, I’ve always wanted to express myself in ways I had never done before and using the camera lens as my third eye allowed me to share these experiences with others.
Please feel free to browse through my portfolio and drop me an email if you’re interested in working together. Hopefully, my work will speak for itself!
