I thought we might pause here for a chat, albeit%u2014one way, so I can talk with you about the images you have looked at so far. Most are not that deep, as I am sure you realise, but perhaps you might enjoy learning more about a few of them. Of course, a lot of the pictures are just photos of models or women who have modelled for me. So, let%u2019s just explore some of the more arty ones. Bird Strike Inspired by a downed airplane recently where a flight of birds %u2018apparently%u2019 flew into both engines. I quite like the idea that other magical creatures fly our skies, undetected, except for the occasional %u2018accident%u2019 kept secret by the authorities. A Small Pleasure Sex is an interesting topic. More so, when one considers the various distortions which take place in the human mind. Here, the model has pushed a tiny needle into herself. Is it a prelude to a solo sexual act, or a reaction to mental numbness due to a condition or circumstance we are unaware of? Request Stop I was fascinated when this lady modelled for me as she is a female body-builder. I thought the superhero inspired image would best provide the opportunity to display her %u2018alternative%u2019 sexual allure. Beauty And The Beast Chloe, a young model here from Brighton, modelled for me in a local park. This image is inspired by the work of another modern photographer in the USA who made a better image of a model walking a lobster. The Scream Saffy modelled for my take on Edvard Munch%u2019s brilliant work circa 1893 of a screaming figure. My image is about sexual repression. Something In The Attic I am sure we have all heard strange noises during the night. This is a humorous image based on the idea of investigating strange noises, with u n e x p e c t e d a n d d i s t u r b i n g consequences! The Devil%u2019s Banquet I%u2019ve done a series of these. I think they are a lot about the way we predate and consume other living things for food. We treat some animals very poorly. A Death In Venice Venice is my favourite city. A photo of St. Marks Square, I took, has been used as a backdrop to the two girls I photographed in my studio. The Sentinel Another popular theme of mine is a naked woman sitting with legs blatantly apart but shielded (protected?) by some phallic%u2013like creature. I particularly favour the tentacle approach as a biological fascination. There%u2019s Something In The Toilet Another of my favourite ideas is the feeling we get when we discover a spider in the bath. I have taken the notion forward a bit in my series of women being surprised by something in the toilet. I love the dark humour contained in this idea.Many of my images are creations that stem from the tiniest of ideas. Where these ideas spawned, I could not really say. Possibly, ideas create themselves from their own abstractions%u2014finding their way into shape and form through the bridge to physicality offered by the human mind.
