This is going to be an outlet for my photography. Some of the photographs are literally inspired by theatre: my interpretations of Shakespeare’s plays. Some are drawn from mythology and art. And some are just from my imagination, the theatre in my head.

In December of last year I worked with Tommy to illustrate Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. In true Elizabethan fashion he played the female role as well as the male, and modelled as both of the twins Viola and Sebastian.

A third image from the Hieronymus Bosch shoot. There’s no specific reference to his paintings but a hint of the Earthly Delights. I call this one Wild Cherries.

A second shot from the Hieronymus Bosch shoot. There’s no direct reference to his paintings here just a hint of his dreamlike imagery.

I love the energy and invention of the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, and we used them as inspiration for a photo shoot. This one is based on a detail from The Garden of Earthly Delights (1503)
