ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Continuing with the Fashion & Architecture project, I decided to branch out to creatives working in London. On this occasion I was shooting actors so I had Emily sit for me. She had the perfect facial structure that I was looking for and being an actress could switch off any emotion shown in her portrait.

The light that day was mostly dappled, overcast and flat. For most of the morning we were just warming up and shooting wide architectural shots but after about an hour the sun started to burn away the clouds and harsh sunlight started streaming through the clouds. I was holding my 50mm prime in my hand as this started to happen so immediately turned her away from the light and exposed for the shadows giving that slight highlight on the side of her face, giving a nice rim light. I was shooting wide open so the fall of of the focus is really soft and adds to the image as its quite stern as it is.

AUTHOR
Hello, I'm a full-time professional photographer based in London, England. I specialise in both commercial and editorial photography, for businesses in the creative sector, working from my studio or on location throughout the UK and occasionally worldwide.

Photography has been a passion of mine since the days of film, chemicals and darkrooms. Along side this passion for the still image, I worked in the consumer magazine sector as an art editor for just over ten years. This has influenced my work and given it a signature punchy graphic style, along with a detailed knowledge of digital publishing & print.
