My Latest LensCulture Article Published with Amy Leibrand
Fabulous! I am delighted to announce that my latest article as Contributing Editor for LensCulture has just been published. This time I interviewed Amy Leibrand about her stunning mobile photography. “I’m always looking for something to exaggerate, oversized lips or legs or the absence of flesh in a portrait.

Both of these photographers’ work is dark, sensual and often provocative. It appealed to Leibrand not…
