One day, in 1996, I found myself looking at The Face’s cover and had a glimpse of what I would like to become as an adult. Keith Flint was posing with a hideous grimace on his face, and it struck me: some photographer had been commissioned to meet and portray this lunatic! That’s my dream job, I thought.
I am experiencing an eclectic and unpredictable life path. I have been a punk rocker, a club goer, a spiritual seeker. I have explored alternative communities, tribal gatherings, and more recently the queer scene. My photographic projects have accompanied me along all these lines.
