This was a mistake with the lighting and the focussing when we were shooting for The Identity Machinery. I can’t use this picture for anything but i really like the colour combinations and the unsharp girl in the front. it has a certain ‘lynchian’ quality that i probably could not get had i aimed for it.
Sometimes you make the best work without the intention to do so. I made lots of ‘inbetweenies’ – snapshots in which a model is preparing or the subject is inbetween two actions that are not useful for anything but provide great images. Here is Laura acting as Luna Lovewitch for a shoot for The Identity Machinery. I just love this picture.
This is a picture of my friend Fraser: i really love this one: he is at the opening of his own art show in Amsterdam. You can see how hard he works and that he made his deadlines ‘just in time’, and the combination of relief, recognition and exhaustion makes this a really good picture, i think.
Laetitia posed for me when i drew the ‘space girl’ in the series ‘Everything Must Go’. Sha had a fish bowl in front of her face to get an understanding of the breaking of light and the reflection in spherical glass. The globe-light in the background finishes the photo.
This is a picture of Laura who did the make up for Loes during a shoot for Comic Sexy. She waits in Loes’ car, we’re about to go to the next location. I thought this picture was great because it looks so glamorous, while Loes her car is an old cheap thing and we are at one of the least glamorous locations in Amsterdam.
