I have always had an interest in all forms of photography and used to run my own darkroom in Islington with a group of photographers where we experimented with alternative processes and building table top stage sets to depict scenes.
Imaginary Cities: stage sets
Below: Battlebridge Night Life, showing the old Cheney Street in Kings Cross, and Dream Street. Size 12 x 16 inches.
Meudon: My homage to Eugene Atget. Colour Photo 20 x 20 inches.
Constructed photos: The Last Suitcase of Walter Benjamin. Walter Benjamin had to flee from occupied France and made his way south to eventually escape to Spain across the Pyrenees. He took a suitcase with him. There is speculation as to what he carried in this suitcase.
