Catherine
I took this portrait in 2010, I asked Catherine if I could take her portrait she agreed only if we could take it in an overgrown industrial green house that she had seen and wanted to explore in Redruth, Cornwall. Catherine was observing a small robin that had suddenly appeared in front of her when I made this photograph.
In conversation with #PicBod
I was honured to be invited to contribute to this years #PicBod, a free and open undergraduate class, run by Jonathan Worth at Coventry University. We discussed my photo projects with the class and I showed some previously unseen work that I’ve made recently, I wouldn’t usually choose to show work in progress, particularly as its at it’s beginning stages but it seemed fitting to show the #PicBod class as it meets the themes of the module. You can see this work here http://goo.gl/HefRw and you can listen to my discussion with Jonathan here http://goo.gl/RVBTU

Sian II
I took these portraits of Sian last week. We met in the afternoon and walked around some public gardens whilst I took photographs of her. Her bright red lipstick stood out to me and I wanted to capture her eccentric style. We then walked to a back alley where I made some more portraits of her. I got a lucky break as the sun broke from the clouds and gave the portrait some more depth.

Here is a portrait of my friend Liz who has aspirations to be an actress but finds the lack of opportunity in Cornwall frustrating. She still has time to smile though.
