A PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSIGNMENT AT BERKELEY CASTLE
Faint Shadows Of Uncertain Light And Undisclosed Sensations
A portfolio of iconic tetratyches and impetuous photographs of self confident femininity. A subjective perception of human life.

BLISS - A photographic exposure of naked femininity.
The engaging title of this erotic portfolio is easily explained. As it suggests, 'the highest happiness' is established because the model who posed for the photoshoot, BeatrixBliss is an astounding model.

UNSHACKLED - A man's solitude for reflection. Amongst an English countryside location with a rich visual quality.
The portfolio 'Unshackled' became an over-whelming desire to undertake since I read reports and viewed TV footage of British Troops killed and maimed in Helmand, Afghanistan. I have thoughts of distressed families, friends and comrades with all nations lamenting the human sacrifice on both sides.

WONDERS IN ALICELAND - A photographic parody of Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy story.
I have always admired Lewis Carroll and his fantasy stories of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. They evoke strong awareness of his exceptional talent for the absurd, curious and fantasy. To create a photographic new-life transition for Alice has been a long-held ambition. A parody seemed the right course; the familiar fantasy story, same function, but taken to visual incongruity. Images of illusion, distortion and nonsense and with instantly recognisable respected iconic symbols as 'Aliceware' provided that important link with Carroll. Alice now seen as a young woman of the 21st century engages on a confident quest, she's a seasoned Lolita, a rebellious, uncontrollable individual.

WONDERLAND DREAMS OF COLOURS - All together now! Vibrant, fast-moving designs from Beatrice von Tresckow
The name of Beatrice von Tresckow is synonymous with startlingly beautiful colours, beading and embroidery, in combinations that will leave you quite breathless. I photographed the outfits soon after completing an intricate parody of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The same location was used and her exuberant designs fitted so well within the lavish surroundings.
