welcome
It is no exaggeration to make the claim that the human figure and in particular its depiction as the nude, is the most explored genre in western art. The human figure conjures different feelings, judgements and responses from the individual, the collective and the cultural mind. One person’s pride is another’s shame. The politics of sexuality and the body is divisive and the human figure sits at the centre of this discourse, both celebrated and condemned but always observed. I have photographed the human figure thousands of times over in the pursuit of a mastery that remains forever unobtainable. This website is an anthology of my work from 2003 to 2024. My collection of faces and bodies continues to emerge with pride.

Sitting for one of my portrait sessions is about bodily empowerment and an acknowledgment that it is your imperfection that makes you perfect. It is about celebrating the body you have as the container of the divine soul you are. I don’t believe it correct to say we possess a soul. Rather, I feel we ARE a soul, individually but very importantly, also collectively. For this lifetime you will direct the energy of being, the “I am”, through this corporeal vessel that lives, learns, grows old and in time diminishes. My portraits seek to reach into the quietness in an attempt to see you. I invite you to bring your body as an act of collaborative art making. Contact me to ask
