The confusion of the maze, the involuntary actions of the robot and the conclusion of the poppy. There are three motifs in this image which I will briefly explain below. Together they explore the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious. The key idea comes from a recent Horizon I watched on BBC2 on the 16th Mar...

I recently came across Aaron Nace's work on 500px and am impressed with his work. Aaron produces digital art that is convincing, using similar techniques to my own, in Photoshop. His work is excellent, he has an eye for light which is key to this process and success of a composite image. A lot of the time we need to hand draw in ...

Erinx in the stairway Last weekend my friend Dan and I headed off to photograph seven models in an old Stuart period house in Liskeard (imaginatively called Stuart House). It was a great day and everyone was lovely which helped make the day really enjoyable. I learnt a lot, both technically as well as working with professional mode...

Flickr are releasing a major overhaul to their platform tomorrow centred around improving how photos from your friends are displayed. The problem is their whole approach to friends needs an overhaul, not just a facelift. I love Flickr and have discovered many inspirational and highly talented photographers through their site, but...

The Heist was the first image in a recent series I did that explores the darker side of orchids. I based the project around three concepts, each concept exploring a criminal activity that orchids might get up to when our backs are turned. Without dispelling too much magic, I wanted to run through how one of the images was created. Fr...
