I've fallen into the photography industry by accident and I've been quite charmed. I've always been involved with others' artistic projects and now I think I'm ready for something of my own.

My goal is to create a collection of photographs that aim to challenge the typical understanding of human nature. Topics will include indulgence, sexuality, innocence, lust, fantasy, lifestyle choices, and a few others.
I also hope to help develop a group of male alternative models.




Current Project:

In the works for over a year,
it’s finally beginning to come into place,
It isn’t fiction, a drug, but a single growing “thought” obsessed with a darker form of imagery, dedicated to men and women who crave a darker, more deviant form of imagery.
Its desire is to make you rethink what the world has shown you,
And until now it has remained rarely spoken of, due to it's nonacceptance in so called pure society that wishes to ignore the raw, twisted nature of human instinct.

But my work will expose the impurity, corruption, and sadism that holds mainstream society together,
and challenge the ignorance that many hold of the ones who are marked as deviants. 
This will be done through a story of images that capture the beauty and purity of those “deviants” who aren't afraid to show their basic human instinct;
their need for pleasure, love, and the joyous and natural craving of their senses.

This however will not be a rushed process,
For patience will bring about great things
Perhaps a smile, a racing heart-beat, or something so satisfying that it inspires your deepest, most withheld instincts to become unleashed.

But, allow me to stop you here and let me warn you through the words of another...

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

My work however is not fiction.
It may cause you to look differently and think more critically about human nature, potentially in a negative light.
So this is your last chance to run and hold onto whatever innocence that society has told you still have.
But maybe you're one of the lucky ones,
who realizes innocence is relative to what part of the world you side with,
and how much of it you can afford to buy.

If you understand or wish to know more, then my work may interest you.


sincerely, Andrew Valentine
