With over 30 years of experience as a professional photographer, Edward's work is extensive and varied.

"My passion is to design real-life photographs that transcend the ordinary snapshot and become a work of art.
The picture should tell a real-life story and have an insight into the lives of the people I photograph. Whether I’m making a portrait for a judge or capturing lifestyle images for an advertising campaign, I look for the kind of subtle body language belongs to that person alone.

I’ve learned when to provide direction and when to be silent. One of my greatest challenges as a photographer, is to transition between photojournalist and confidant. Too much direction, can spoil spontaneity.

A great photograph is often a combination of these four:
fine-art photography, photojournalism, fashion photography and classic portraiture.

Working on photographs after capture is essential, but I don't go overboard with enhancement and retouching techniques. I strive for the kind of details that don’t draw attention to themselves."
