Ready for the weekend, playing with colour and light and funky house tunes.

Silhouette collection shot for international hairdresser Jason Hall.

The return... The ability to creatively play has never been stronger than it is right now, with the various generative Ai tools we now have at our disposal. Would I prefer the good old days when this was simply limited to those of us who had put in the many years of technical training and expertise to produce, yes of course but those days are now over. Image creation is no longer the sole playground to those of us who are designers, photographers or retouchers, this new world we now find ourselves in, is at the fingers of everyone who has a creative mind. And you can't help but be consumed by this addiction to bring ones visions to life, in a fraction of the time it used to take to painstakingly composite all of the various assets/elements together. Would I prefer thing were like they were before, of course but those days are gone, welcome to the future.

Collaboration with international hairdresser Jason Hall, playing with the possibilities of Ai and hair design for forthcoming projects.

A Parisian Affair Commissioned in the late summer 2013 to fly out to Paris to photograph one of my favourite models, here are some of the results, along with the usual addition of the odd animal, influenced by those festive Cartier Advertising Campaigns...sorry couldnt resist.

The sad story of a dissillusioned seventies TV personality. The main image from this series was awarded 3rd plave in the ipa international Awards, in the category of Advertising Other_AD.

This year let's give Turkeys the Christmas off and let the pigs stay under their blankets. Some festive concept artwork fun with Ai generative software, DALL•E 3, Midjourney and Adobe Photoshop.

NATION*   A Collaboration with Jason Hall of Jason Hall Hairdressing

A series of conceptual fine art prints, exploring the connection between the aesthetic beauty that visually lies in the delicate luxurious opulence of avian plumage and the sexual femininity of the female form. These composite images, where feather meets beauty and fashion, are constructed using the art of photographic capture, photographing models and birdlife in separate instances and in separate locations. Then digitally manipulating the imagery in postproduction, to create a new single piece of artwork, a combination of both bird and beauty, each perfectly complementing the other. It has always interested me, the way that the fashion industry has long associated a feminine quality to both fur and feathers, especially when more often than not; it is the plumage from the male of the species that is chosen to be worn. Here with the help of modern digital postproduction techniques, I have been able to explore this connection further and unlike 19th century aristocracy who chose to wear whole stuffed birds as hats at the height of the "plume boom" era, I’ve been able to produce this artwork without any birdlife being manhandled or harmed in the process. All of the garments, as well as hair styles featured have been created solely using manipulated imagery taken of various birdlife and at no point during the process of this project did any of the models see, wear or come into contact with any of the feathers or birdlife featured in this series of prints.
