I like making connections between things - joining the dots as my lovely other half calls it. Photography with music, photography with stories or all three as I have attempted to do with the Anglicana project (see Personal Projects).
Prior to lockdown, I also began photographing dancers, primarily to support my partner Jeannie Clarke who, in addition to being a brilliant singer, is also an accomplished artist who paints giant canvases of dancers (see www.jeannieclarke.com). During lockdown this resulted in the online international multi-arts 'House of Mercy' project, about which you can read more on the Personal Projects page and also watch a promotional video that explains the idea behind the project.
Favourite photographers: Don McCullin, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lee Miller, Julia Fullerton-Batten and Jan Saudek. All of them storytellers in one way or another, with a bit of strange Czech eroticism at the end! I like Saudek, not so much for the naughtiness but for his amazing backgrounds and hand-tinted images that give them a kind of vaudevillian and theatrical atmosphere.
