Quite a lot of people have asked me the same question, ‘what got you started doing dark portraits’?

The quick answer is below.  Meet my Uncle Terry!

If it hadn’t been for Uncle Terry telling me that I had an eye for photography and pulling silly faces for me to practice taking photos, I’d probably have never got started with it.

The images you see here, aren’t great as they were taken on a very cheap camera back in 2005 and there is quite a lot of camera shake if you look closely.  None the less, if I’d never taken them, I would never have learned to better my photography skills and I would certainly not be creating dark portraits today.

If you have a question to ask about my photography, feel free to contact me.

Blue Zombie is my latest zombie portrait featuring my good friend who goes by the nickname of Plug.

This is one of my favourite zombie portraits to date and the hi resolution image is awesome.  Below is a crop of the eye, which is still scaled down for publication on the web.

Chris Zenga is a talented zombie portrait artist from the states and if you love zombies, you need to check out his work over at http://thedayafterart.blogspot.com/

Chris recently told me that he was inspired by my ‘Zombie Kerry’ portrait to create two drawings of his own that can be seen below.  Personally, I love the one without the eye and I’m honoured that my portrait should inspire such talented work. I love the split forehead and the stitches, don’t you?

I didn’t know whether to call this dark portrait of my daughter ‘Kerry the Zombie’ or ‘Disco Zombie’, because of the headband she wore and refused to take off.
