FIND YOUR VOICE TO BECOME YOU!

"I have been taking photographs for over fifty years and during this time I developed a style that is referred to as Ballenesque.
-
My aesthetic evolved, layer by layer, predominantly inspired by the images I created. It takes time, hard work, commitment, imagination to find the path, the road that takes you to a place that you never expected to be, where ones work genuinely stands out from anything else."
