"For me, it always begins with the main photographic image. I have an idea and
then use one of many old cameras I own to try and bring that idea to life. Martin
Barnes senior curator of photographs at the V&A has said that, “Good
photographs neatly express the obscure and the complex meeting point of
illusion, reality and theatre. When made with skill and sensitivity they inhabit the
wonderful hinterland where perception and imagination meaningfully collide,”
and this is what I strive to achieve. Once that image exists I then use it as starting
point, adding text, or old objects or textures to it to create a finished piece."
