Alva Bernadine is a British photographer who has worked mainly in the editorial field for the last 26 years. Alva tells us, “My work is unconventional, sometimes surreal and is very singular in style. It ranges from a classic use of perspective to experimental work using a sound-activated switch to capture action pictures of women’s arses being spanked. There is always an ‘event’ in my pictures, there is always a strange , surreal or quirky happening. My pictures always begin with an unconventional idea. The colours are saturated and they are always taken on location as I rarely use studios.”
