Who inspired you to start taking photographs?
Lee Miller. She was just the archetypal dude/hot model babe. RAZOR sharp wit, travelled all over the world taking pictures, got with a load of amazing artists, worked in-house for vogue and as a US WWII coverage correspondent for Condé Nast with David Scherman. There's these amazing pictures they took of eachother galavanting around in Hitler's apartment after the fall of Nazi Germany - SUCH an amazing cheeky 'fuck you'.
Who do you look up to in the industry?
I'm a shortarse so I basically look up to everyone.
Other artists that inspire you:
SO MANY. Ellen Von Unwerth, Weegee, Matt Irwin, Sarah Lucas, Waterhouse paintings...A whole bunch of cinematographers - Herzog, Fellini...
Favourite night:
Whatever Happened to P-rock. Pop punk F-U-N.
Aspirations:
To make awkward nerds love me.
Cheese Preference:
Some dubious pictures of my more-than-ample ass-ets in the Macbeth loos have made me want to lay off the solidified animal fat for a little while.
