Statement of Intent
From Within This was the image that started me off. The compost & soil made a hell of a mess in the bathroom where I took the image
Me Myself and I
Boxed In My wife looked somewhat startled then bemused when she came home to find me with a box on my head!
Mounting Difficulties The first appearance of the orange jumpsuit, used to add a focus point and a colour theme. I was crouching under the empty Xmas tree box balanced on two chairs
The Eyes Have It The mount took ages to cut with its 12 apertures
Who's Spying On Who There's a mansion near where I work that was kind enough to let me photograph in front of one of their doors
Wrecking My Credentials I felt very self-conscious astride a children's playground swing in the dark at 06:00 in the morning with all my flash gear around me
Stubborn Lid Black glitter kept appearing in unusual places weeks after the shoot
Suspicious I shot this through a venetian blind, but then stuck contoured strips of mountboard over each lath in the image
Territorial My sister's dog, Jethro, was my companion model in this shot
One And Three Quarter Profile Many people refer to my resemblance to Alfred Hitchcock in this image
Round The Bend This is a blend of two shots: a straight shot of a toilet, and my arm in the bathroom sink with the tripod sticking out the top window
Seven Years Bad Luck I bought cheap clip frames to get the glass to break and superimpose on the portrait. It felt SO wrong damaging the mount!
Negative Reflections
On Balance
Modern Vitruvian Man This was a tricky shot to get images to fit the circle
Mounting Climbing I 'scaled' the floor on a large open area at work with a green backgound spread beneath and behind me
Homage To Banksy You would not believe how many shops in Uxbridge I had to visit to find one with a heart-shaped balloon
Interrupted Tea Break I liked the contrast of the dirty face and the pristine cup, but the camera competition judge didn't
Lost My Bearings
A Shot In The Dark
Alien Abduction
A Chip Off The Old Block I used shavings from my electric pencil sharpener to dirty my hands. I've still not found where I put the shavings holder!
