Portraits of Stockholm

After my travels through the forests and lakes in Sweden, I found myself in Stockholm with no cash and a few hours to kill. Having already visited Stockholm the previous year, I didn’t feel I need to do any rushed sight-seeing, and knew my way around a bit. After an hour of walking around, it struck me how strongly so many people have similar facial features – the...

Drama Headshot for Philippa

Photoshoot with Erica (Studio #3)

This is the 5th time I’ve photographed Erica, and you can see why. She graduated from Cambridge this summer, and I thought I’d missed my last opportunity to have a photoshoot with her (she’s one of my favourite muses). So I was pleasantly surprised when she said she was back in town and free for a shoot. I don’t normally fully-process as many photos as I did...

Headshot for Saba

Saba, a dancer with Cambridge Contemporary Dance company, asked for a headshot session to help her promote her consultancy business. As both of us are Johnians, it wasn’t difficult thinking of a location for the shoot. I’m really appreciating having reflectors for photoshoots, as they’re great for bouncing direct sunlight, and also creating soft fill light from...

Painting Samantha's Photo

This is the second photo that I’ve “painted” with additional colours and graphics. The first one was from a photoshoot with Erica last July. Yesterday’s photoshoot with Samantha produced this wonderful photo with her standing against a tree, lit up against the dark background. There are great examples of designers creating such images for their portfolios or...

Photoshoot with Samantha

Samantha is a dancer on the Cambridge University DanceSport Team, but I first met her some 5 years ago in an Offbeat dance class. She seemed like a great muse for a photoshoot, and came along with some 30s/40s styled clothes, which worked out really well. Thanks to Jenny for assisting on this shoot. The rest of the photoshoot can be found on...

Scooterworks Café

I went to Scooterworks Café in Waterloo with some friends – it’s a fantastic combination of a scooter workshop and coffee shop. Lots of character, great decor, and really good coffee – from an authentic 1957 Italian coffee machine. Sarah, being a great model, as usual Coffee ripples and brownie Sarah, coffee ripples, and the coffee machine Behind the...

Photoshoot with Lucy

Here are the rest of the photos from my photoshoot with Sarah and her sister Lucy. FHM eat your heart out… You wouldn’t guess that Lucy was rather shy and unsure at the beginning of the...

Photoshoot with Sarah (Studio 2)

One of my favourite muses, Sarah, had asked me to do a photoshoot for her sister. Those are coming soon, but in the mean time, now online – here are some of my favourites of Sarah from the shoot. This first photo is an updated headshot to add to Sarah’s portfolio, as she’s doing more theatre and film these days. At the end of the shoot, Lucy took the camera...

Acting Headshot for Laura

The first portrait/headshot photoshoot I’ve done since December (which was one of my best ever, before my photo-mojo went walkabout). Laura was at St. John’s, and is one of the stars of BBC’s Wannabes. As with the Selwyn chapel candle-lit photos, huge thanks to Greg for his reflector skills in helping me get the golden lighting for these photos :) Here are...
