Unlocking doors

By Rennie Ellis

I developed a compulsion to document the theatre of behaviour, to offer insights and revelations into other people's worlds especially the offbeat, the erotic and the eccentric. My camera became the key that unlocked doors and gave me access to engage in a great variety of encounters that otherwise would have been outside my experience.
