Chaize is a self taught fine art photographer, who's mastery of his craft was honed over 40 years in advertising photography. His creative range since pursuing his own ideas is impressive. You can see this first hand in his vast explorations in his seminal PRAIA PIQUINIA series - of the turning tide atop a secluded bay in Portugal and also in his altogether more intimate and esoteric studio explorations of light on geometrical objects in his TEN series. There are many more creative areas he has explored, but one can be sure - there is much more creative endeavours to come from this quintessentially modern and talented connoisseur of the medium.
