For those of you who don’t know, I do have the odd portrait with the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Colour Project X
A colourful journey around the body.
I used colour to transform our bodies into small oasis’ of energy and peace.
All the work is done in camera and in the lighting.
I have been photographing the body with colour gels for many years. It was actually my main body of work when I left college, so I am really pleased to be working with colour like this on some of my recent work again.
It’s great to come back to genres with a ‘fresh’ set of eyes.
