I'm a recalcitrant guy. A defiant, stubborn and rebellious individual, but one that loves making photographs. I've an irreverent eye and a penchant for using available light, some say my photographs are absorbing and generous, others say I deceit spectators with a delicate and refined play of the imagination.

Always prefering a relaxed approach to making photographs I like to use available light whenever possible. Art nude, fetish and portraits have been the mainstay of my work for some considerable time, but now I like to use other applications like photo-documentary which give my pictures a natural feel and may even have some Cartier-Bresson touches.

I have a sharp eye for detail and often, it has been suggested, an irreverent handling of a subject. I'm beginning to disregard conventional tastes, and some mystery, decadence, and provocative images are emerging into my portfolio - it never ceases to exite me when my images become talked about; whether it's derogative or complimentary. New ideas and group images intrigue me. As William Hogarth provided his 18th century customers with amusing, satirical, and conversation pieces, I want to create pictures that exite people.
