I took photos of people in my studio then drew with black acrylic ink on acetate. I used the acetates as negatives and developed them on to photogreapic paper. The tricky bit was remembering that the black would come out white and visa versa

artists I am looking at; Diana Arbus and Sophie Calle. Both look with sympathy at people to whom fate has been harsh while being honest and uncompromising in their self portraits. I have also been looking at Jerry Uelsmann ,who's montage "the small woods where I met myself"1967 has been, for many years, one of my favourite photographs
