Graham has been an artist since he was a child growing up in British Colonial Africa. At age 10, he was carving stone with native artists. While still in high school he began casting bronze sculptures and painting in oils. This was followed by exploration of the African subcontinent, sometimes by canoe or bicycle because roads did not exist. Says Graham, it was during these travels he realized a camera was necessary to record all those incredible experiences.
Graham believes that you can never fully experience life without first getting close to nature and then learning to tread lightly. Each of us must acknowledge that we must share this beautiful world with all its inhabitants or lose it, he says.
He regularly uses infrared photography to create images reminiscent of old Victorian lithographs by artists like explorers Thomas Baines and Thomas Moran during the late nineteenth century.
