About Me
I won't bore you with details about me, but I like to think of myself as a combination of writer and photographic artist. I have been writing fiction for a good 20 years, mainly quite short stories and prose and am currently working on my first novel. As a photographer I've spent a lot of time working on abstracts and randomness in photography - i.e., trying to remove my preconceptions and expectations from the pictures I take, and to do something different. I work using a very simple methodology: one camera, one lens. For my band photos I never use flash but do use long exposures, slow shutter speeds and anything else I can think of to bring some of the dynamism of live music to photography.
Projects
My project for 2009, apart from finishing my novel, is my series called Fused, which uses dozens of photosof single and multiple objects to make one photo (http://davidsonmick.squarespace.com/fused/). In 2008 my main project was a series on performers, be they groups or individuals (http://davidsonmick.squarespace.com/project-2008/). In 2007 I started a self-portrait project with the idea of producing one every day, no matter how little time, light etc there is (http://davidsonmick.squarespace.com/self-portraits/).
