About me: I am a keen club photographer, part of Lustreality Promotions, and am always on the look out for other cool places so if you want some pix at your club, let me know. I also do other photoshoots on an ongoing basis, so open to suggestions on that front too!
As well as posting up photos on this profile and on my
Facebook profile (look me up as Nick von Fiction obviously), my...
Performers I have photographed include:
Suzie Sequin, Angel LaVey, Anita DeBauch, Dinah Might, Mysti Vine, Frivolitease, Miss La Vida, Ernesto Sarezale, Miss Slinky Sparkles, Miss Dolly Rose, Veronika Valentine, The Penny Dreadfuls, Twisted Cirque, Vdrey, Crimson Skye, Mr Mistress, Bijou Noir, Missy Starr, Desmond O'Connor, Joe Black, Scottee, Inkodancers, Rose Thorne, Bella De Jac, Agent Lynch and Ruby Fortune
Bands include: Parka, Shanklin Freak Show, The Problem Being, Razorbladekisses, Deviant UK, Envy and Other Sins, Gingerbreadmen, The Dirty Disco, The Firm and The Grit
I also do graphic design, have a day job in PR, I'm the bassist out of Rapid Fiction... ...and occasionally I get some sleep.
I find religion exceptionally questionable, I'm a vegetarian and environmentalist, I think logic, reason, humour, self scrutiny and empathy are extremely important traits and my mum thinks I'm "too nice".
And, on a lighter note, I'm "a rodent with the needs of a rodent", I think the right kind of uniform is downright sexy and I like the sauce.
Who I'd like to meet: Models & club promoters who want a photographer, vegetarians, animal lovers, environmentalists, furry animals, goth/industrial/metal/electro/electronic/indie lovers, atheists/agnostics/, thinkers,....people with something interesting to say, people up to fun stuff involving any of the above elements in London.
Wurde auch gern Deutsche in London kennenlernen, da ich heutzutage keine Gelegenheit hab, Deutsch zu reden!
However, these are my buttons: monotheism, superstition, crap mags like Heat/Hello! etc, chart music, hunting, fishing, shooting. If those apply to you, then then we're better off on separate planets orbiting different suns.
QUICK! Watch the new Pristine 18 video! Zombies! Guns! Knives! Heart removal! ODs! Electrocution! Erm, Paper aeroplanes!!

I have been snapping away -- mostly nature and abstract stuff. I'm in enamored by the English coast & country side. It's got nothing on Texas.
I hope to shoot more live burlesque shows & the alter egos that create them! Good idea about getting in for free as a photographer -- I'm get in on that!
Ahhh ... yes, I have been to their show. I really loved Mysti Vine the Comic Goddess! I will have to go to more burlesque shows! I've been missing out on the action.

It’s been far too long since I last said hello and so much has happened I thought it about time we did.
We’ve changed a lot, now we are an “UltraModern, post-electro rock, post-nu rave behemoth where Muse and Mansun meet a Massive Attack with Duran Duran pop sensibilities, louder guitars, and a stunning female front person/guitar virtuoso”, or so we have been told.
I’d love to know what you’ve been up to since we disappeared into the dark damp studio cave, let us know how it’s going, I’m always up for a chat! May your thoughts be Scarlet and your actions Blonde ;-) Dawn xx Scarlet/blonde
