Help! Does anyone know this photographer’s name? I saw a collection of their work in 2002 in a magazine (I think The Idler but can’t locate that issue) and I can’t track it down anywhere.

Most images contained a partially obscured woman in lingerie eg a bed with a stockinged leg on the floor or something simil…
