I like to photograph things as they are but make them look more abstract or surreal. I enjoy ambiguity and was interested in the multi-layering of space in the windows of the tattoo parlour and the take-away food bar on Brighton pier. With things stuck on the glass, people inside, reflections of the sea, people and the pier and a view of the beach through a doorway, I hope to engage the viewer in a visual game of interpretation.
