This image is #5 in a series of six images. I had commissioned 30 or so blocks of English limestone to be cut and shaped in varying sizes and proportions for a series of photographs. Three sides of each block were to be smooth and finished. However when the blocks arrived in my studio I realised rear of the blocks that were 'unfinished' and still had the stone masons saw marks and the odd chips and cracks were more interesting. The images are lit with an extremely oblique light, in reality these saw marks are quite subtle I needed a hard light to find them in all their glory . A tungsten light was positioned at 90 degrees to the subject thus creating the shadow and texture enough to bring the compositions to life. I wanted a warm and muted palette, and harmonious tones to work with the simplified compositions.

I am a photographer based in central London. I have been shooting editorially and commercially for 25 years, My work has largely been to create imagery for luxury brands and publications . Clients include Omega, Patek Philliepe,Dunhill, Selfridges and Net-A-Porter and magazines such as British Vogue, Wallpaper* Esquire and GQ. I have worked on my own personal projects through out that time and have gained recognition for my projects including 'Mixed' which is a project about the lives and experiences of people who have grown up in a family that perhaps surprises others. The images present different family members, a parent, a child, a sibling or a grandparent all of whom are related. My aim was to show how society is evolving and changing, and how as it does we are all encouraged to think differently. Whilst the differences are seen on the surface through skin colour, I believe the real changes are more than skin deep and that in effect we are witnessing a coming together not only of cultures, but class, religion and genealogy. I am in a mixed relationship and together with my partner we have three children who I believe represent this aspect of a changing society. The work was exhibited 20 September 2017 – 25 May 2018, at the Migration Museum, London. No Turning Back: Seven Migration Moments that Changed Britain. In 2012 I shot 'Kiss' which was Exhibited as part of 'Kus. Von Rodin Bis Bob Dylan' at The Bröhan Museum, Berlin from June 15th - October 3rd 2017, curated by Dr Anna Grosskopt. The Exhibition included work by Auguste Rodin, Edvard Munch, Alex Poulson and Bob Dylan. The Brohan Museum is an art and design museum devoted to art of the modern period it houses a unique collection of art nouveau and art deco. The work was also covered in the guardian magazine and The Times. I have the recipient of numerous photographic awards including Communication Arts AOP Awards D&AD Campaign Press Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival Club des Directeurs Artistiques
