 I
was born in Grenada, West Indies in 1961 and moved
to Britain at the age of 6 to London. At the age
of 10 I bought a toy camera that took blurred
pictures, some of which my mother still has in the
family album.
I became seriously interested in photography at
the age of 21. My first pictures were of London
tourist spots and the next year I started
practicing my present style. I am self-taught and
have never been an assistant.
I have worked mainly in the editorial field for
the last 19 years. I have photographed for
numerous national magazines and have had many
profiles of my work in countries such as France,
Spain, Italy, USA, Australia, Germany and, of
course, Great Britain. I was joint winner the
Vogue/Sothebyıs Cecil Beaton Award in 1987 for
his series of shoe pictures entitled The Fetishı
and in 1997 and 98 was nominated as Erotic
Photographer of the Year in Britain and won in
2002.
My book, Bernadinism: How to Dominate Men and
Subjugate Women, published by Edition Stemmle is
the first book of my work showing my personal and
commissioned work.
