I create man in my own image
>above. John Cooper Clarke. 1st portrait session aged 16. 5 minutes backstage. October 1980, Teesside Polytechnic. Teesside Polytecnic, October 1980.
I refuse to perpetuate the convention that the portrait captures the soul. I do not possess powers of divination; I am neither a priest, shaman nor soul thief. My photographs are neither jinn nor juju.
First published images. Take at the Hare Krishna Temple in 1980 aged 17 1980.
