I've been interested in photography since I was eight, and I've loved live music my whole life, so it makes sense to combine them. Luckily there's a lot of new talent on the Oxford music scene, so there's always someone to take pictures of, and everyone loves free publicity!
I've been doing gig photography seriously for a couple of years, and my work has been used for local magazines, band websites, demo artworks, and venue promotion.

The Wheatsheaf - Saturday
|
|
I am currently studying photography in Manchester Metropolitan University,
I'm originally from Banbury where I studied at Oxford and Cherwell College,
I was encouraged and influenced by both my teachers and my peers to
experiment and try something different. Eventually I was introduced to
fashion photography and I haven't looked back since. Now fascinated with
personal style and the female body I generally photograph women in a kitsch
and glamorous way. This variety of images is a celebration of the female
form and the power that lies in our sexuality; these women are captivating,
enchanting and striking. All of these photographs are a tribute to my
beautiful friends. |

Primarily my work explores the susceptibility of our emotions to Commercial
Advertising's use of the female form as a tool, praying upon our innosence
and creating sexual tension within us.
My work depicts aspects of my emotions, how I perceive myself and the
>affect of current media on my life. By covertly combining my feelings and
emotions with images of women in a suggestive and provocative manner I try
>to create a visual sense of voyeurism and desire. |

The Market (AKA City) Tavern
Saturday - 8.45pm - 9.15pm
|
| I went to grammar school in Hastings in eleven-plus days, studied English at New Hall, Cambridge, and got a doctorate for my thesis on Thomas Hardy's novels. After that I taught adult students for the Open University and the W.E.A., living for several years near Cranfield University where my husband worked as a physicist. There was not much going on in the arts world, so I and some friends founded The Interpreter's House magazine to encourage creative writing in Bedfordshire. Now it's a national journal approaching its tenth birthday, and we have moved to Oxford. I am still the sole editor, and I also edit the newsletter of the Wilfred Owen ssociation, having a great interest in the poets of the First World War. I'm also very interested in the incurable disease myeloma and started a consciousness-raising poetry competition in 2004. I hope this will go on from year to year, as poets have been very kind and helpful. |

travel, press, wildlife or fine art, I love it all and if I can see it
in my imagination I will work with it.
My ideas and subjects change quickly with my imagination and like most
artists, will see an 'image' in everything I look at. |
