Pazuzu vs Kebab-At Home With The Furries

Spoiler Alert: There were no kebabs eaten, I think Pazuzu is really a secret salad eater. Soon as we got in there, he could not make up his mind. A sure sign of someone who’s guzzling sorrel, lettuce and tomatoes on a regular basis. Pazuzu is quite unusual for a furry as he really plays…

Pazuzu and Fruitloop-At Home With The Furries

As if meeting a motorbike riding raptor wasn’t enough, a short costume change later and we have two very different personalities. Pazuzu and Fruitloop, a demon lord and a bat respectively. Pazuzu kicks off to a very innocent question from me about where he’s from, informing me in quite strident tones that he’s not merely…

Rebel and Godzuki-At Home With The Furries

A dinosaur on a motorbike, well stranger things have happened although I’m struggling to think of anything this recent. Anyway this was a velociraptor, only the coolest dino on the block. Saturday saw us (that is me and Lauren Marchant-my assistant) head up to Milton Keynes to continue with the furry project. Her name is…

The Furries Strike Back

I’m starting to run out of Star Wars analogies, I don’t think we want to bring in the first three movies as reference points really, sorry George!! Here’s a bunch of portraits I shot of the furries at a recent meeting, I’m always shooting Instagrams of them for reference, but sometimes it’s just nice to…

Return of the furries

Next month I’m visiting sunny Wales for a double shoot with Saethwr, he’s the red dragon of Cardiff. Why of course!! And Fangorn, a tiger based near Swansea. I’ve been meaning to photograph Saethwr for quite a while, and I’m pleased that we’re hooking up. His suit is something special, as naturally a red dragon…

At Home With The Furries and The Sunday Times Magazine

The aim of my photo project: At Home With The Furries has been and always will be to make a book and exhibition with the images. About a year ago, at one of the regular furry meets, I was having a catch-up with my furry friends and I spoke to them about getting the series…

At Home With The Furries receives 10,000 hits in a day

Yesterday something extraordinary happened, I got an email from my website provider, Digital Photo Gallery saying I’d used up 90% of my monthly bandwidth. So what, you may say? You’re a popular guy, people like your website. Well I hope they do, nice of you to say!! People were viewing the Furry project every second…

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…
