Thank you for viewing my work here.
Am always glad to hear from others interested in what I do and taking part in the fun. An open mind is required – as well as nudity a lot of my ideas can be a little “awkward and otherwise” in mood, intent and composition.
Thus far though, there has been no permanent scaring, either psychologically or physically due to a proceedings on shoot and as I will also make you tea or coffee, as well as letting you play with my cat in between workings, I’m sure you’ll be just fine.
I shoot almost exclusively from my premises in North London, the location of which is as important to my work at present as the models appearing therein, due to the mythos of sorts has developed within my images.
I’m not particularly fond of the “Fetish” genre, though my work is often described as being of such and would rather models not bring latex, rubber etc along for a shoot.
I’m aware that my work isn’t going to appeal to everyone, which is a good thing as being generic is absolutely nothing to aspire towards.
And now I can’t think of anything else to type.
my music:
Sleeping Pictures - Many Hands Should Throw Stones
My main musical venture with long time collaborator Gary Parsons. I am the singer and lyricist over Gary's music, composed on electric and acoustic guitar, piano, mellotron and a selection of weird and wonderful arrangements.
Lark Blames Chimney
My side project with Lloyd James of Naevus. "Ambient, mock-power electronics, exotica... but, for the most part, the pieces here simply defy description"
Featuring Rose McDowall and John Murphy
These Papercuts
And now we have my solo project - mixing electronica, harsh noise, glitch, found sounds, organic recordings and the instrumentation from a few of my more talented friends
