This is a photograph of my friend Daryl Hembrough from Bristol, England.
Daryl was born with Pfeiffer Syndrome, a condition where the plates of the skull are fused together from birth. He spend his entire childhood and adolescence in hospital to receive corrective surgery and treatment for the many complications arising from the condition.
Now in his early thirties and still living at home, he has made 2018 his year: performing as comedian, working as a model and becoming a recognisable face and very charismatic persona in the Bristol artistic community.
I am a self-taught fine art and street photographer based in Bristol, England.
In my street work I seek out the melancholic and at times absurd aspects of the human condition. I am interested in capturing some of the profound yet fleeting moments of our lives and often revert to greyscale photographs to create images that resonate.
In my portrait and fine art nude work I photograph many of my artist friends who I share my life with.
I also create photographic experiences for the public who I invite to be photographed in especially created sets and scenarios in public places.
