The Seven Deadly Sins

A while back I created some images as part of a personal project, called the Seven Deadly Sins. The idea was to use actors to portray the Seven Deadly Sins using only facial expressions. I had a lot of actors interested in taking part, and I shot it over a couple of weekends. I have mentioned this project to a couple of clients recently who have expressed an interest in seeing the results, so thought I would post them all together on the blog.

The Seven Deadly Sins are Greed, Lust, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy and Pride, and here are the resulting photos – have a go at guessing which is which (click the thumbnails to see larger images).

Some New Portraits

Here’s some portraits taken over the summer:

Photography at Night – excuse the vanity!

As  you may know I have been working on a project which involves night photography (more about this soon) and once everything is set-up (which takes a while in the dark), this usually involves very long exposure times. I am often asked what I do during these protracted periods of time. Well you can see below that I behave like a tourist and have my photo taken with attractions like Concorde:

And occasionally I hang around with fast cars:

Or just loiter hoping to be recognised:

Binary People

Digital camera technology allows us to see incredible levels of detail in the images that we make. However the microprocessor is a binary device that only sees two state data – it’s just 0 or 1, true or false, black or white. Binary People is an ongoing personal project that consists of a set of photographic portraits in profile, using only black or white, but still revealing the unique features of the individuals.

Here are some images from this project – you can see more on the main web site.
