The Dalai Harma's Interests
General
For starters...
Art, Music, Life, Death, Love - you name it. Widely varied and often unhealthy.

I'm so ecclectic it's frightening. Let's just go with... Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley, NIN, Guns N Roses, Pearl Jam, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morrisette, Chili Peppers, Kate Bush, every goddamn big hair 80's band you can name, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, the Doors, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Angry Chick Rock, Placebo, My Chemical Romance, Enya [shutup], Crowded House, early Garbage, 90's indie rock ... hell, ANY kind of rock, especially classic Dino Rock... eh, there are just too many and you've stopped reading anyway.
Movies
As with music, you really don't want to know, you'll die before you get to the end of the list.
But I will tell you that Kubrick, Lynch and Peter Greenaway have been a constant source of inspiration over the years. ..
Television
God yes, someone just buy me Cable dammit!
Gimme MTV and Rage 24/7 and I will die a happy woman.
More often than not, Music Video directors inspire me no end. At some point I wouldn't mind trying my hand at it.
Directors you should check out - Mark Romanek, Chris Cunningham, Stephane Sednaoui, Floria Sigismondi, Jonas Akerland, Samuel Bayer, Peter Christopherson... the list goes on. Check them out at http://www.mvdbase.com/

I am Harmony Nicholas - sometimes known as The Dalai Harma - an emerging Adelaide-based but Worldwide-bound Fine Art & sometimes Fetish/Fashion Photographer who wishes one day to take over the World... or at least a small island in the Pacific.
My style of photography has often been described as Hyper-Real or dreamlike, with an underlying sinister critique on society and the Human Condition and a slightly skewed modern take on age-old characters and stereotypes... but I prefer to think of it as Pink Floyd with caffiene withdrawl.
Judge for yourself...
I am constantly trying out new ideas and experimenting with tools of my trade, and always need willing models to carry them out - in fact, if I've added you, there is a 99% chance I would like to shoot you... photographically that is ;)
If you do wish to model for my work, read this first - it will save us both a LOT of time: http://dalaiharma.deviantart.com/journal/17482561/
In the near future I will also be available for promotional work for artists & performers and the like - and if you yourself are an artist and are interested in working with me, I may just be persuaded to be a show pony myself for your creative pursuits.
So, with that out of the way, feel free to drop me a note, add me or grovel at my feet if you're keen on working with me, or just like my stuff.
Now, just so you know what you're getting yourself into, check out the slideshow above or click on the banner below and visit my gallery at DeviantArt for a good hard look at my artistic endevours. Don't forget to check back, as I am constantly updating this page until such time as my webpage is launched in the coming months, including any forthcoming exhibitions or publications my work will be featured in.
YES! I finally uploaded my Sunday Arts interview. Originally aired on the ABC program on February 17th 2008, here it is again for all of you who missed it.
Who I'd like to meet: My Evil Twin.
...but hey, you'll do.
Musicians - god yes, let's help each other get into Rolling Stone! And maybe someone can finally teach me to play Bass.
Models - always on the look out for fresh blood
Photographers - I can be persuaded to behave
Not to mention Painters, Poets, Dreamers, Madmen... Madwomen for that matter, Nerds, Loners, the funny guy who never got the Girl, sarcastic witty bastards who know way too much about random pointless crap - any kind of creative individual is welcome here.
Yay for stressful crap being over! My course went good, bit boring but that's just cuz I have a short attention span. blep.
Now missy, for tomorrow and all of its goodness!! I just need you to bring your pink bed jacket, & maybe anything else that you think we could play with ;)
Yay!!!! It's going to be fun fun.
I'll msg you when I get up and you can pop round when your ready! huggles!! <3<3<3
we need to head into town for lunch, and im buried in work on top of that, when is the shoot, can it be rescheduled to another day where i have some notice, then i can help, today is a bit late unless its serious emergency ... eg you have no other option
What's with all these people that are still awake at this god awful hour? And why are they not talking to me and bringing me presents? Where is the fluffy? I want chocolate and icecream. With girly bits on top! Don't forget the girly bits!
Actually, just forget the chocolate and icecream and random calls for attention, just bring me the girls. Or the guys. I'm not that fussy these days.
GO TO BED! Better yet: GO TO MY BED!
Excuse me whilst I slip into something a little more comfortable...
This Klingon mind meld thingy is really working out! Maybe it's just your subconscious telling you you miss me terribly and want to bear my children :D
