I use Lview PRO and PaintShop Pro 9
but my main app. is of course Photoshop CS4 and for me is pretty much the ultimate in image manipulation and processing packages. Many, many great features to many to list here!. In addition Lightroom II has now become a much used photo editing tool, before the excursion into Photoshop for final processing, if any

A good imagination, some experience and plenty of resources - including a Canon EOS40D, Manfrotto Tripod, Canon 430EXII Flash, Kood ND Gradient & coloured Filters, remote shutter wireless release etc etc, my own drawing skills as well as a view out the window into infinity!.

	These series of works have been on the mind of the artist for a number of months. It wasn't until becoming fully conversant with the many facilities of Photoshop 6, Paint Shop Pro 5 and having access to a variety of multi-media sources that these works became possible. Much of the imagery comes from the artists own personal drawings over a number of years and is keenly influenced by traditional Fetish Imagery. Each image consists of scanned drawings or photographs taken whilst on holiday or just out-and-about seeking inspiration. In addition material is also taken from images from stock libraries which have been subsequently manipulated in PhotoShop. Influences include images taken from a wide variety of sources in life, by the traditional drawings of ENEG, Jim and Stanton and the current trends of the new graphic artists as exemplified in or the Swedish based magazine All this is leading to a new exciting era in sensual experience which together with the now well established dance-music craze (thanks to Danny Rampling and Pete Tong, amongst others here) produces an environment rich in lively and exciting source material.
