Photography

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.

I have paid homage to my favourite photographers: Atget, Kertesz, Bayer and artists such as De Chiroco.

The Dream Series: Toned photographs with added elements. The first image shows part of the old Holloway Arcade from the early 90s, situated near me. The second is a table top stage set and is based on a poem I will go to the territory of dream. It incorporates 3D elements and is lit with bike lamps.

Imaginary Cities: a series of constructed photographs and table top stage sets. “Paris 1900”, stage set; Dream Street, stage set. Lit with candles and bike lights, 20cm x 30cm
