I was recently interviewed for the international fine art nude blog "Universe D'Artistes" about my work - it went live on Sunday 8th November. Here's the link, (scroll half way down the main page):

Like many photographers, I’ve tried different styles but I came to realize some time ago that taking pictures for the next Littlewoods catalogue or something just doesn’t press my creative button.

My ‘epiphany’ if you like came when I discovered the unparalleled pure beauty of fine art / artistic nudes. (People like Bill Brandt, Edward Weston, and more recently Alex Ingram). To that end my work with models centres on that genre. I can find no subject more beautiful in the truest sense than the unclothed female form. (Dolphins admittedly come a close second, but are less reliable)!

Working outdoors is my great passion, exploring the physical and emotional contrasts of shapes & textures between a body and a variety of natural / man-made materials & settings. I love the spontaneity this approach offers. In my view making environmental nudes should be a joyful experience for those on both sides of the camera; one should go home feeling uplifted from a release of creative energy.

I am based in Devon, (a long way from civilization), where there are some fabulous locations. The granite torrs and wild moors of Dartmoor, a host of ruined buildings, wooded valleys, beautiful beaches & rocky coves provide much of my inspiration. The rest comes from allowing my imagination to fuse with that of intelligent, intuitive models who share my aspirations.

The images I've uploaded here are only a small sample of my work - to see more please visit my website [link]

Great gallery. I find there is something very special about the beauty of the female form in natures surroundings. (and Devon is a beautiful place)

Look forward to seeing more from you.

You're welcome - I never ceased to be amazed & inspired by the way different artists tackle the subject of the human figure!
