Stephen is a lean, athletic man and I wanted to demonstrate this by trying to create a sense of movement in this action pose. Diving is certainly a powerful movement but it is hard to convey it, especially when the model is not moving and is in fact static for over an hour whilst the individual panes of the image are created. To give that sense of motion I took many images that overlap in a busy, jumbled way but also seem to sequence the body as it passes through space like a series of animation frames. I also introduced external lighting to create the slight ghosting effect. 1. Series selected for Saatchi Cinematic Photography collection: http://tinyurl.com/Saatchi-curator-Bridget-Carron 2.

Similar to a metallic paper, it gives the skin tones a lustrous sheen and the colours are luminous and vibrant. They are presented using the classic acrylic face-mounting process where the print is sandwiched between a high-gloss, clear acrylic sheet, and an aluminium backing plate. The refraction of light through the acrylic sheet gives a high definition effect and brilliant colour, with stunning flawless results that will last for many years. The finished piece is supplied ready to hang on the wall, eliminating the need for a picture frame and is now widely used for photographic work in galleries and museums. It is roughly equivalent in price to traditional glass and wood framing but is much more contemporary and prevents the double reflections caused by the glass and the print. They are also easily transportable with much less packing required than glass framed prints. This is my preference for how these images should be displayed and all galleries show them this way. If however you prefer to buy just the unmounted print please enquire about those prices. All prints come with a signed, numbered and stamped certificate of authenticity. Physical Photography Explained: These photographic portraits explore beauty, sexuality and our humanity. Many have a narrative and incorporate sexual imagery or religious symbolism. My particular style I achieve by dispensing with traditional methods, instead using a modified scanner as my camera. This technique creates very high-resolution images of hair, skin and clothing but with a sensitive and painterly style, taking photography in its literal sense of ‘painting with light’. From single shots to collages of many images that can take hours to shoot it is a very physical and emphatically collaborative process. The results have a unique, ethereal quality, reminiscent of old master paintings but with a very contemporary treatment. The slight abstraction caused by the flattening of some areas of flesh and the slightly varying angles for each frame give these photos their distinct look and add to their rather alluring mystique.
