So I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1974. I spent my childhood
in Saudi Arabia, my teen years back in Cape Town, and my
tweens (by Shire reckoning) in Copenhagen, Denmark. My nationality
and culture is "international".
As a kid I wanted to be an inventor, then a writer, but I settled on
neither and studied zoology, which I of course abandoned halfway through
writing up a masters thesis so I could get a real job knocking out computer code.
I started creating images in 2007 when I bought my first DSLR. I had never undertaken
anything graphically "arty" before that, except some technical illustration while at uni.
Soon I started post-processing my photos, then I drew on them, and eventually
I stopped caring what it was called. I currently shoot with a bunch of different analog and digital
things and homemade hacks - like cultures, cameras are more fun
when you keep an open mind and try different ones. I do all of this
for escapism.
Art isn't my day job, so I'm not actively looking for commissions.
However, if you have something
that you think suits my visual style, or you want to buy the rights
to one of my images, you're welcome to get in touch.
I enjoy challenges, and if I take on a job, I take it seriously.
I'm always open to collaboration in and around Copenhagen,
Denmark, and nearby cities, if there's some sort of
creative chemistry. This goes especially for costume/set
designers and makeup artists who are interested in original, dark work.
