I am very excited to share a fresh series of artist portraits!
It was such a great day collaborating with @GrahamSilveriaMartin & @isabellelyoung in the studio, getting to see his beautiful new works and learning more about his creative process. The dramatic, sculptured lighting he captures had me mesmerised.
Getting to hangout with two friendly doggo’s is always an added bonus too!
Artist portrait commission for @GrahamSilveriaMartin .
‘Silveria Martin is a London-based artist whose work explores absence, memory, and queer imagination through painting and sculpture. His practice transforms utilitarian objects into sites of haunting and desire, where presence is both abstract and palpable.’
Capturing the legend himself - @grahamyoung007
A massively inspirational and supportive figure in my life and my photographic journey 🙌🏻 And we’ve just begun a new project together! Branching away from my typical focus a little but no less exciting. Watch this space.
Headshots of @andy91ap captured at RAW by @whatdoesnot
Running a pop-up headshots shoot in a tiny karaoke room above a pub was a challenging experience. However, I loved the fast pace this one and the opportunity to capture so many different individuals across the evening.
I was very excited when @Tam_Mik recently invited me to run a headshots workshop at her event, RAW. The workshop was a great success! And also proved to be the perfect opportunity to capture an elated Tam, buzzing off the energy of another fantastic @whatdoesnot event drawing to a close.
Portrait commission for @dj_kokonola -
DJ, broadcaster and music journalist Lil’ Koko (One Jazz, Jazz FM) spins rare New Orleans 50’s RnB, swampy funk, gut-bucket Blues and Cajun punk oddities with a few detours into the Bayous of Louisiana. She tours the world bringing the fiery sounds and culture of New Orleans to the masses.
It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with artist and close friend Ali Farrall, even when she turns up to the studio tipsy and bearing wine 🍷
We persevered. And, after some brainstorming through different poses, captured the perfect portrayal of Ali’s powerful presence as a badass artist.
