‘I am a fine art photographer and my work recreates the innocence and mystique of childhood stories. I blend texture and colour adapting or replacing elements using Photoshop to enhance the cinematic feel.
Drawing from fairy tales, history, myth and fantasy I create images evocative of another time and place. My shoots typically take place outdoors using natural locations as atmospheric backdrops. My work is influenced by the pre-Raphaelites and their depictions of sensual beauty.
I create because I want to draw the viewer into a story that provides an escape from day to day reality. I want them to lose themselves for a moment in a world where if they wish hard enough maybe dreams can come true…’
