'Perfection'

How do you ask a friend for a blowjob?

Dirty Girls

I like old cars, and dirty girls,
I like motel rooms that tell a story to get drunk and make videos in.
I like cracked tiles, waterstained wallpaper and slightly dirty floors that you’d never eat off.
I like the sound of a tumble dryer, or lovers fighting, or lovers loving.
I like my hair pulled, I like to pull hair.
I like Harleys, dirty and loud and never quite working right,
I like a girl in jeans one size too big and a shirt one size too small.
I like coke if it’s mixed with JD or snorted but rarely by itself.
I like film because it’s old school like me, dusty and unusual.
I like when my girl smiles at me or grabs my ass in the supermarket.
I like the fact that life isn’t certain, and I don’t know where I’m going.
I like Chris Isaak because he is on the same journey as me.
I like underwear but I like taking it off you better.

'You Hold my World Up'

I might, I might be ready to kiss someone new.

Ego

I create for myself.

I don't exhibit, I don't really release books very often.

I don't have an ego.

I shoot images I like. I am usually working through ideas, and
my life's problems through my images. I am trying to impart a little bit about my journey, and my struggles with it.

I like for someone to see a different side of themselves through my work. I love to take someone that has doubts about themselves, or their body, and lift them up high. I like to show them how I see them.

I believe every woman is a goddess, and should be treated as such, so I like to show women in simple reality. How beautiful they really are, with all of their imperfections. 

I create for myself, but I love to share it with others.

I don't exhibit, because like every true introvert I'm afraid that no-one would come, that I would hear someone in the corner saying 'Who does this guy think he is', but I will push past it because I do want to see my work on walls again.

I don't have an ego about what I create, I am proud of it though.

'You are the most beautiful thing'

A little obsession

I think a little obsession is healthy.

I have been known to focus on and be obsessed with particular body parts of a lover, whether it be while we are photographing
or whether it be while we are in bed.

I have had a couple of people that I have been obsessed with their bottom, I have taken 1000's of photos of the same ass, 
and can't keep my hands off it, like ever.

I have also been obsessed with someone's lips, kissing for hours, days, weeks, months on end, not getting enough of how they tasted.

Obsession is part of life and it's odd fabric. I embrace it.

Magic

I think being pushed sometimes as an artist can be a very good thing. 

I think every artist has their own vision of what they want to put into this world, and having someone else say ‘Hey, lets do this….’ can be liberating. 

I had a shoot with my friend Mars yesterday, and along with the usual things I like to shoot, half naked girl in disposable underwear, high key fashion, she encouraged me to step into water, and create a serene floating mermaid series of images, that at first I wasn’t sure about, but after a few images saw what she wanted, and we went with it. 

But it wasn’t until she became faint from the heat of the bathroom and standing up for a while that a real image came out, sitting on the side of the bath, leaning against the wall, resting, a real moment presented itself, so I quietly took a couple of snaps, capturing the real girl on the inside, soft, hurt, it was magical, and I absolutely love the images. I will share them at some point. 

You can't surprise a man with a dog.

'4' Featuring the beautiful Attie, and shot on my equally beautiful Hasselblad 500C

What, happened to pubic hair on woman, as a man of a certain age I grew up with movies and magazines with women sporting a nice patch of pubic hair, and I miss it, it is feminine, it is beautiful and it is sexy, so women of the world, don't listen to anyone that says you are better without something
that is natural.

The Photographer as a Story Teller

I prefer to think of myself as a story teller rather than a photographer, I am looking to try and create work of true substance.

The people that I choose to work with don't have any dreams of being shot on a beach, they have no aspirations of being in  FMH or Ralph. I have very little interest in shooting the same people as everyone else, cookie cutter images of the same girls
in the same poses drive me insane. I like real people. People that don't do this for a profession, or for money.I look for people
with complex personalities, who can bring depth to a conversation and conversely to one of my images.

Inspiration for me comes from weird places, from music, from movies. I love the visual, I love dirty motels, Chris Isaak's haunting lyrics, I love the bizarre and the freaky, I love David Lynch movies, Bridget Bardot speaking in french, Stella Stevens
lighting one of Buddy Love's cigarettes, I swear in a previous life I was living in a colourful Carnival traveling the world to display our talents and rip off the locals before moving on to the next town. I love vintage, underwear, sensuality and sexuality, I love to find people that can portray that, it opens up my mind, my soul, and often my pants.

I love to find a connection with people, I mainly live an introverted life by myself, I am disconnected a lot of the time from reality, so to be bought back by finding a true connection with someone inspires me no end, and I have been known to have gone with that connection and shot from anywhere from 9 hours straight to 2 years, it IS what I live for. Truly.
