About The Artist

I'm 28 years old and live in an old apartment in Edinburgh, Scotland with one tall husband and two small cats. I'm obsessed with pink things, shiny things, gadgetry, body modification, beautiful music, adrenalin rushes and other people's faces.

About The Art

I completely disagree with the genrefication of art and I will never define myself as an (insert genre here) photographer. I do not shoot to formulas and my inspiration rarely comes from pictures other people have taken.

I am inspired by music, films, books, people I know and people I see in the street, conversations I over-hear and random sparks of ideas from nightmares and daydreams. I don't believe that images should be serious OR pretty, disturbing OR comforting, because those things are not mutually exclusive.

Darkness and light come from the same place and the only difference is the mode of expression.

The Hows And Whys

I am strictly independent in my work and I choose not to shoot for an agency or sell through a specific gallery for the same reason that I choose to publish my own books - because I care too much about what I do to water it down and make it socially or commercially acceptable simply because someone else says I should.

Because of this, I mostly promote my work online and am available for commission to people who get what I do and want what I do, not people who want a person with a camera and no soul to shoot pictures like that one shot from that advert for whatever.
