The Singular Improbabilities (Series)
DESCRIPTION
This series of surreal and erotic metaphors build a exciting frisson by recontextualizing models into new relationships with found scenes on the streets and in the museums of Europe and North America.
AUTHOR
After university I became a commercial photographer specializing in fashion & architecture. Then I taught art photography, photo journalism and history of photography at the University of Victoria for many years.
Current work includes street photography in Europe, the image as metaphor and the nude, both in the studio and the landscape. I work out of a beautiful studio in Victoria's historic Chinatown and work with a Nikon D800e and Photoshop CS6.
I lecture and write about the history of photography, especially the nude and the portrait and won the Photographic Society of America's award for critical writing. I've curated or juried more than fifty exhibitions of photography, served on the board of the BC Civil Liberties Association and the Society for Photographic Education. For biographic info see my listings in Who's Who in American Art and the Macmillan Encyclopedia of Photographic Artists and Innovators.
Publication credits include Kew Magazine, the Globe & Mail, Saturday Night, CNN, MGM, Mandalay Pictures, Surreal Beauty Magazine, Camera Canada, Camera Mainichi Raddle Moon, Image in Progress, EROS Magazine, the Stereo Show, Object and Image, Photographic Possibilities, Nude Closeup, Trierenberg Super Circuit, the Exposure Award - Dreamers Collection and World's Greatest Erotic Photography.
