Fishslice photography is a new genre of art whereby objects are seen through a fishslice. The main subject is brought into sharp relief against a metallic foreground that reveals both some of the backdrop behind the camera and aspects of the photographer himself.

The fishlice itself has a semi-translucent feel to it that asks questions about its composition and by doing this makes the viewer question what he is seeing. Is it the view beyond the fishlice or something different?

The playful interchange of the twin phonetic sounds at the start of the words fishslice and photography amplifies the question and suggests a certain irreverence by the artist towards the established order.
