A couple of times a year, I tour a part of Britain by car and take the camera with me and shoot as I go. I do not hang about waiting for the light because the photography is not the main purpose of my trips. I often gravitate to the seaside and people - nearly all my pictures have people in them. I apply the technique to them at a later date sometimes months or in some cases years later when I get round to it.

I have occasionally been commissioned to shoot in this style and it is only then that I create scenarios, otherwise it's about documenting what I come across. However, I am now doing some nudes in order to round out the narrowness of the subject matter. I am even contemplating some still-lives, but I find it hard taking pictures without human beings in them. I now have a substantial body of work that never sees the light of day and I wish to make it my next book project.

Because the style is so impressionistic, I take my cue from the Impressionists. I see the work as very European and stick to the appropriate subject matter. I have never yet done a surreal picture then applied this technique because I do not think they would mix, but I think my Cunt Flower series would look very lovely in this technique.
