This shoot was commissioned by British artist Steve Farley who wanted to feature an organic, human presence to accompany his work in photographic format.  Steve is an artist I’d hoped to collaborate with for a while and due to the success of this project, we’ve discussed  a full series due over the coming months and hopefully an exhibition later in the year.
