Portraits from the Woods is a pictorial record in multiple takes of a singular journey through Norman Reedus' experience of darkness and light. It will become clear early in this wholly fresh body of work that these photographic images are as likely to propose questions as provide answers. This book is a collection of raw, grainy, offkey photos that Norman has regurgitated for our bemusement and twisted pleasure.Norman Reedus is a master of the unlikely the eccentric, the uncooked. He loves to indulge his eye in all manner of improbable and fractured camera moments. Portraits from the Woods takes the viewer on some very strange trips into a subterranean world where there is no judgment. What you get is raw, unplacated Norman behind his natural and delightful charm. This book can't help to push your envelope.

November 1st 2018 is one of those days that stays with you for the rest of your life. You see that was the day I found a small lump in my left breast, you never forget that moment as inside I was filled with dread, fear and worry of what the future held. I had seen several family members in the past few months being diagnosed with that dreaded disease, breast cancer. This find was made even more traumatic as the next day I was attending a dinner at St George's Hall, Liverpool, an iconic ceremonial building known throughout the world and the first building visitors see as they exit Lime street station. It's so iconic that it has been used as a backdrop for film locations for numerous worldwide movies in recent years. I was attending this dinner as I had been nominated for two awards. One was for Employee of the year, a massive honour and the other was for Innovator of the year. These are two extremely prestigious awards within my place of work, Aintree University Hospital. Wow I can hear you say, well so did I. I'm not apologising as I was absolutely over the moon for reasons I will go into later in my story.
