zA snap shot is the truest form of photography. oe Mike Dowson's photography is simply a case of capturing the moment. He distances himself from any kind of staging and stylisation. This has given him a style again " perhaps unintended " the style of "laissez faire." His photographs of pretty girls appear fresh, unconsumed, spontaneous, tasteful and very erotic. Dowson's models must always convey the feeling of availability, the petty bourgeois may call them tarts. However, these girls are no such thing, they are just young, being themselves and showing their lust for life. Mike Dowson thinks that women who display their sexual presence openly are much more erotic than those who come over as aloof and distant. His photography is the same " simply open and thus more erotic.
