Charlotte Olympia

A page from Charlotte Olympia’s look book I just shot.
Charlotte and Valentine made the process easier but It is one of the first wholly commercial shoots I have done. I am often shooting editorial now but it is somewhat different to an actual ad campaign. So I am happy that the two of them put up with my angst and well, generally being and odd ball in the fashion arena. There are a few more here.
The edges are blurring between commercial and personal, I'm still so unsure of what it all means.

Silence

A picture of PRIZME by me

I am desperately trying to find something.
My search in the black foam and the fog of my psyche.
I see no other way to that place/emotion/world, oh I don’t know.
I saw it in a dream recently. I knew instantly I would be there again.
I hope I am there again.
I need to find that place, to right the wrongs, it is the punishment that I need, perhaps?
I can feel a reality slipping away from me, with this drive replacing it, this quest.
Where my problems are worked out and my worries are confirmed and made corporeal, real worries walking and seeing, they are deformed and contorted ideas in the flesh (and in the fog), where in there/here even your taunts will leave me smiling.
I think I will get there, perhaps I will see some of you there.
There where crows call and forest silences are broken.

You can’t imagine how much I miss women. I barely know any anymore.
I’m working on a project with Valentine and Charlotte, both amazing women, it makes for a change.
Lately I see things that are something like human remains. Sometimes I see something and I feel contaminated. As though that possession contains disease or a blunt instrument for knifing me.
The meat of my mind is getting thicker and my madness returns like health to a sick sick man, I’m happy to greet it.
