A series of Contemporary Photographic Film Noir made up of Portraits, street scenes and mysterious landscapes - all shot in glorious monochrome. A modern contemporary take on the traditional elements of mystery, femme fatales, inescapable darkness, menace & murderous plotlines, as seen in the genre of Film Noir. My influences are markedly more cinematic than photographic, and the spectre of Old Hollywood looms large within this series of works. The directorial ghosts of Preminger, Hitchcock, Welles, Wilder and Ford are often winked at and embellished upon within this project.
