I have always been drawn towards beauty that is strange or unique, that which falls far outside of the narrow parameters of normative beauty. Within my photographic practice, ‘normality’, is of interest merely as a means to measure degrees of difference in a culture that continues, on many levels, to regard that which is extreme, as deviant.

Since taking up photography in 1989, my work has been selectively exhibited in the UK and abroad.

In 2003, I graduated from the University  of  Westminster, with a First Class Honours Degree in Photography & Multimedia. Stylistically, my work vascillates between the genres of Art and Documentary, exploring issues relating to gender, sexuality, disability, body modification and contemporary fetishism.

I would like to thank all of the individuals who have collaborated with me in the production of this body of work. Without their enthusiasm, energy and support, the creation of these images would never have been possible.
