Walking With The Christmas Furries

One thing that the furries like to do more than anything is to get out and about, mixing it up with the public. For them, the juice is ‘working the crowd’ as one furry on Saturday confided to me. Every few Saturdays, they’ll meet at a bar in the city and the walk guided by…

At Home With The Furries

This is a photographic project I’ve been working on for a few years.The furries are people that meet up, online and in person and they’ll talk and chat and have fun together. Some of them go on walks around St.Paul’s cathedral and over the Millennium bridge. You’re thinking but so what lots of people do…

Perceived Patterns: My photographic exhibition in London

I visit places, I take pictures. End of story or so it seems. Perceived Patterns is an exhibition of photography in which I’m drawn to little details; lines in the sand or water on a windscreen. Some are a metaphor for an emotional state; Flowers, Berlin signalled the end of a relationship ( as I…

This feature on the worshipping of Saint Death, a deity represented by a skeleton which has replaced traditional Catholism in certain shall we say less salubrious parts of Mexico was an assignment by Nadav Neuhaus for Bizarre magazine.

“It’s a pleasure to meet a living legend” and I vigorously shook his hand. “I’m a big fan of your films…Blues Brothers, Trading Places and…..god what was the other one?” I sheepishly admitted to John Landis. The very soul of courtesy and to save my blushes he suggested “American Werewolf in London and did you…

Even though I’ve worked on nearly 100 issues of Bizarre , yes count ’em 100 copies; every feature we do is a challenge. It has to be said though that hiring amazing photographers like Nadav Neuhaus, Shaul Schwarz, Neville Elder and Naomi Harris really helps. I recall commissioning Timothy Allen to cover an experience piece:…
