My photographic style: Usually, I tend to deploy a photojournalistic documentary style in my approach to work. Natural difused soft light shoots. Nothing to fake or forced..with a comfortable and relaxed working style
My greatest strengths: My ability to focus [pardon the pun] on the image/ idea/ model/ actor/ job at hand. I'm easy going and find it easy to talk things through as well as showing people how to pose etc. I'm a very visual orientated person so showing things visually appeals to me
I have been in photography: As long as I can remember - but in this life 10 years 15 if you count the learning curve at the start.
My personality: I am a Light hearted and down to earth person but can be quite serious when it comes to professionalism. I ask a lot of questions hoping to make my client open up and more at ease as shoots can be quite overpowering for some people... once you get them to relax inwardly it shows on the outside..
Geographic areas I cover: London, SE UK
Venues I frequently attend: Gigs -Music Venues, Concert Halls, Bars, Music Promo Shoots - Deserted Spaces/ Warehouses.
I found inspiration from: Gary Winogrand, Robert Frank, William Kline, I get inspiration every day from my work from my surroundings from watching people interact on the street and from my friends and family.. inspiration is everywhere now all I need to do is put it to better use!
