Monkey in Wimbledon


My special friend Kate is about to finish her fine art degree at London College of Arts. She asked me if I'd let her paint my body for part of her final major project, along with my best friend Becca and a friend-to-be Olivia, I obliged of course. Turned out to be not just a good day, but a cracking day.













Kate's in the process of building a website which I can't wait for. She's a very creative, talented little beam of sunshine.

David LaChapelle


Marie introduced me to this photographer. I hadn't heard from him before but he is globally renowned. If you want to know more you can follow this link... http://www.lachapellestudio.com


David LaChapelle is a photographer, director of documentaries and a video artist; "his colourful, smooth and extroverted style is filled with sensuality, fantasy, and dark adventure, packed with accessible popular images, and communicates with a wide and variegated audience."(lachapellestudio.com)


"I feel that we are living in a very precarious time, with environmental devastation, economic instability, religious wars wages, and excessive consumption admist extreme poverty. I have always used photography as a means to try to understand the world and the paradox that is my life. There is the feeling that we are living at a precipice. My hope is that through the narratives told in my images, I will engage people and connect with them addressing the same ideas or questions that possibly challenge them. My latest pictures are a reflection of my earliest pictures. I reintroduce my personal ideas of transfiguration,regaining paradise, and the notion of life after death."

Brittany Murphy, so beautiful.

Book of Nudes


Erin has decided to create a 'book of nudes' for her photography project. I love a bit of nudity, it's so liberating in such a conservative society.

I reckon Terry Richardson could give Erin some inspiration.


Guy Bourdin




Recently I have been spending time looking into the relationship between sex and fashion; I learned that Guy Bourdin was the first photographer to embrace this link - his work combines sexuality with controversy. Whilst maintaining a fairly natural image his obvious interest in surrealism is plain to see. Guy Bourdin had a innovative yet realistic approach to fashion photography, with strong sexual influences. The use of props and screen play allow the viewer to gain an individual perspective of the story behind them.


"With their startling fairytale imagery, the fashion photographer Guy Bourdin's pictures have lost none of their uncomfortable allure." (fashion.telegraph.co.uk)
