a muse. collaborators.
i'm always interested to speak with people who are passionate about photography, writing, film, music and art in general; and i have recently started contemplating ideas of possibly collaborating with other artists [both photographers and artists working in other mediums].
if you see my work and think my style would be suited to a group exhibition you are organising, a magazine you may be putting together, might fit with some writing you are doing, or might suit a CD cover for yourself / your band, please contact me!...
