The Accidental Photographer...Installation Artist Shooting Fashion..... And being the unnameable cou

About Me

I am an installation artist & photographer, I work with, concepts, notions, ideas; video, film, sound, sculpture text etc..... I'm sometimes roped in with the YBA's from the '90's. Damien Hirst, Tracy Emin, Sam Taylor-Wood etc........ why I'm not to sure since I've been out of the country for most of the last 10 years. Early in 2006 I was in a group show with Damien Hirst, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rankin etc..... Showing 3 large video, film, sound, sculpture installations.........Though I'm here to network in fashion photography... Since I appear to be an installation artist shooting fashion as well as other things............



Shoot published in New York Zink Magazine



Car shoot abandoned because of torrential rain....

My Interests

Blue seas to swim in..... Sand deserts to wonder wander in ........................................... And coming home..... The generation of thought..... making things.....

I'd like to meet:

People who disturb as they pass through.... Something wicked this way comes.......


I also have this strange notion that if people are in my friends on here we speak to each other........

"Never think we are anything except fragile beings, no matter the illusions we create........The slightest resonance can cause a rupture, to shatter ourselves through time and space, to scatter to the darkest places, to fall into despair, sometimes never to return....."

I wrote this 2 days after I got a call telling me a friend I hadn't seen in time, had committed suicide...
