I have a dark secret that I have tried to keep hidden.

Here’s my confession: I was an art student.

Yes, in a former life, I fancied myself as a talented art photographer.

I did a degree in Media Art, and here are some of my self-portraits.

Don’t ask me what they are about, because I can’t remember… it was all very misguided.

None of these were photoshopped. They were created in a dark room, the old fashioned way, with actual film and chemicals and exposures and all that manual camera malarky.
