About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
One day I went to my bathroom to brush my teeth. When I looked down at the sink I noticed that my soap was dirty. Oh sweet irony. The material that I use to cleanse, was itself dirty. The ironic, contradictory nature of my soap made me smile and giggle for some time. The metaphor for our creative outlets was too good to overlook = Dirty Soap Images.Dirty Soap was formed by the ungodly alliance of two individuals. Joseph Story, a self taught photographer with an eye for the unusual, met Alicia Fenton, a graphic designer with a keen love of fashion imagery, who told me that she wanted to put skinny models in wheelchairs with drips attached to their arms ... It was love at first wierd remark. Artistic creativity bought us together and much like the Roman Empire, it is most likely that artistic creativty will cause us to kill each other.The Dirty Soap creative process starts with a product, be that a model, a dress or a small blue/grey dog. Concepts are usually created by a group process bouncing ideas off each other and reaching an end product that, we would like to think of, as original and beautiful.We, at Dirty Soap, produce images that would fall by most conventional standards into some sub-catagory of fashion photography. Call it what you want, we do what we do. Our ethos is to dilute our creativity as little as possible in return for financial gain ... Which basicly means that at the moment we do what we do for the love of it and are skint, but hey, there's more to life than cash you know.If you like what we do then book us, we'd love to hear from you. If not, we'll keep doing it anyway.Peace.

My Interests

Creating images that shock, titilate, enthuse, inspire, Images that create an emotional response, good or bad, we'd rather that you hate what we do than be indifferent to it.

I'd like to meet:

Like minded individuals who want to share in our orgy of creative passion, who want to drink from the chalis of beauty and swim in the pool of .... well .... whatever, god I can blah blah blah.Most of our work on this site was done with a make up artist called Nancy Spencer but fate and her starting a business have made this a difficult partnership to continue. We want to work with her in the future but in the mean time would love to work with make up artists who 'get' what we do and want to be involved in the creativity of concept design as well as make up.

Music:

Music is the inspiration for 99% of our ideas. A soundtrack is the best partner for anything in life and we find that the world looks a lot prettier when music is present. We dont differentiate by genre just by quality and emotional response ... turn it up will ya ?

Movies:

Films that have it all. If you can cram action, romance, emotion, horror, comedy, style, gob-smacking cinematography and wit into one film then thats fine by Dirty Soap. Take the the sperm / eggs of David Lynch, Tim Burton, Copolla (x2) and The Cohen Brothers and your some where close to my perfect film beast.

Television:

No thanks ...

Books:

Brett Easton Ellis, Irvine Welsh, Iain Banks, Luke Reinhart, Chuck Palahunuik ... blah blah blah .... 'oh yeah I have seen it but its no where near as good as the book'

Heroes:

Joseph = Charlie Brown / Alicia = Ralph from the shop & Joseph Story
