My Interests

I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHS... As you will see from my extensive range of pic's! I am passionate about all things photography. I work with medium format using the human form (men starker's! hence there only being a few of my images on here); personal spaces and generally documenting everything my eye can muster. Black and white film, colour film combined with flash/studio lighting makes anyone and everything look good. I work using minimal depth of field to really distort the image. I enjoy hand printing images for it's medicinal purposes and don't touch digital smigital if possible. I want to set up on my todd very soon. I adore food; shopping for it, preping it, marinating it, experimenting with it, cooking it, serving it, and troughing it! I'm learning Spanish as I love the language and we are moving there a.s.a.p.
