Stephen Jackson: writer, photographer and digital artist

Portraits

I was blessed by having a former partner (GD), my creative muse at that time, who'd also been a fine model. She was my active collaborator and all images here are used with her consent. Since then: it's been my pleasure to exlore a great city and find new faces - I'm always seeking more...

Ice Queen

I was asked, "Show me as if I'm freezing under ice." Photoshop had to come to the rescue.

Stiff Stephen

A self-portrait: Adobe Photoshop, flat-bed scanner, and fun.

Lying (3)

Shot originally onto film under tungsten light. Then bags of Photoshop,

One boiling-hot afternoon.

Death in the Clouds

My signature self-portrait, which began life on a flatbed scanner.

All Alone

There were less blissful facets to...certain relationships. Thrown out of a Croydon flat at 3 a.m. by a woman in a violent drunken rage: crawled home to North London. You get to know your Night Buses.

Wraith

GD in voile.

Eve's Mask

A touch of the Mona Lisas. Or something. More and more I like a hint of kitsch and I want to push it much further.
