I studied Art in the early Eighties at Bournville Art College in Birmingham, England.  For most of the following two decades I painted, drew and played keyboards in several local bands, not really worrying what I was doing as long as it was ‘creative’.  During that period I  developed my love of all things dark.

  My discovery of  Adobe Photoshop in 1998 opened up a whole world of Digital exploration and convinced me to swap my brush for a digital camera.  But it wasn’t until 2001 when I first convinced my friends Jo Daly and Clare Einhorn to model for me, that I seriously saw the potential that this new media could deliver.  It was now possible for me realise some of the fantastic images I had in my head.

   In April 2003 ‘Declinegothica’ went live with about 18 months worth of images I’d created with Jo, Clare and another model we’d met on the way, Lucy Wells.  Sadly, the images were crude by today’s standards, so none survive on this site today.

    It was July 2003 when I first met male model Sapphrine and his friend, Ebb.  They were both well known characters in the Net-Goth community and their involvement in my work took me up a notch.  It is through my work with them that I was discovered by a whole new group of Goth Art lovers and several of them have gone on to become models themselves.

    In the years since then I have been lucky enough to have worked with some fantastic people and photographed some of the best Alternative models Britain has to offer and I expect 2008 to be no different.
