I’ve long been a believer that photographers need to shoot projects that get their creative juices flowing. While I love wedding photography, and pin-up photography, I do feel the need to let loose and be creative with no barriers from time to time. This year I’ve embarked on a project called ‘Carnival of Sins’. Yes, I’m aware that Mötley Crüe had a tour with that name… !

My Carnival of Sins is based around a Victorian era freak show, with stunning pin-ups in weird and wonderful scenes. It’s quite the project, and it may end up taking a couple of years to complete. As images are ready I’ll be sharing.

First up – Portland Pin-Ups Contract Girl, Mandy Apple. Seen here in two vignettes:

“The Knife Thrower’s Assistant”

“The Lion Tamer”
