Forks Open Doors

ART DIRECTION  |  PHOTOGRAPHY  |  STYLING

Like Valentino with a hand grenade? ...is one way to describe my design stylings. Teaming high fashion aesthetics with rock’n’roll attitude and old style punk integrity, it's design with bite…and a grain of salt

Simply put - I'm an art director armed with a camera... I'm not interested in 'capturing' images - I'm interested in designing them.

I art direct the concept, look and style in my photography (unless otherwise indicated) and this is the most important aspect of the work for me. I spend a great deal of time and energy conceptualizing and designing an image, as well as often making props and accessories before I shoot it, doing the post-production retouching and image manipulation work also.

I'm currently working full time as a creative director for small art direction and design studio 'Forks Open Doors' based in Perth, Western Australia. Check out some samples of my commercial work via: www.forksopendoors.com and examples of my  personal creative work via my www.otilee.com
