In Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland has been a favourite
of many generations, having an especially
profound meaning in my creative endeavours.
Dreams are where my visions for photo
shoots are often born and Wonderland
is a story of dreams containing
nonsensical magic and dialogue with
colors and imagined imagery too vivid
and profound to ignore.
I fell down the rabbit hole about a year ago
when I started my collection of Alice in
Wonderland inspired photographs and have
not yet crawled out. Sometimes working by
myself for hours on end creating props or
working with a small team
of models and fellow artists designing
and building sets, I've created a Wonderland
all my own,
using Lewis Carroll's vision.

Twinkle twinkle, little bat, how I wonder what you're at? Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the
sky. (Wonderland, Chapter 7)
The label said, “Eat Me.”
Cheshire Cat. "We're all mad here." (Wonderland, Chapter 6)
Said the Cheshire Cat, with a grin. (Wonderland, Chapter 6)
Mad Hatter'sTea- "…You've lost your muchness!" (Wonderland, Chapter 7)
The Mad Hatter - "Have you any idea why a raven is like a
writing desk?" (Wonderland, Chapter 7)
WhiteRabbit- "Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!" (Wonderland, Chapter 1)
...said Alice, very much confused, “I don't think...,” “Then you
shouldn't talk,” said The Hatter. (Wonderland, Chapter 7)
"But I don't want to go amongst mad people,” Alice remarked. (Wonderland, Chapter 6)
“There is a place, like no place on earth. A land full of
wonder, mystery, and danger. Some say to survive it, you
need to be as mad as a hatter. Which, luckily, I am." (Alice in
Wonderland, 1865)
"Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. “I've had nothing yet,” Alice replied in
an offended tone, “so I can't take more.” “You mean you can't take LESS,” said the Hatter. “it's very easy
to take MORE than nothing." (Wonderland, Chapter 7)
"Have I gone mad?” Alice said. “I'm afraid so!” said the Mad Hatter. “You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you
a secret. All the best people are." (Wonderland, Chapter 7)
