In this case Ben is a Brighton based ghost writer, author and writing coach specialising in self help and wellness books.
He contacted me and we had a chat about what he’s looking for and said that “One of things I love about the work on your site is that they can be used for formal purposes but they are anything but stuffy/uptight, you capture the warmth and humanity of your subjects.”
I always like to hear how people see my portraits / head shots and work with them to get what they are looking for and i’m pretty pleased with the results from this shoot.
I’ve been photographing a lot more interior design recently for architects, builders and designers all around Brighton & Sussex. It’s really nice to go to peoples homes and capture them looking their best for companies and businesses.
I always get inspired when doing interior photography, although my main passion is shooting people because I find them interesting, I do like the calmness which comes with interior photography.
About this time last year, I got to indulge in two of my favorite things and photograph a cycling street art tour of Brighton using the Brighton Hire Bikes.
I love street art and graffiti and cycling is very close to my heart as I cycle every week and am super passionate about it. So getting the chance to photograph and document this tour and learn about Brighton’s art scene was a wonderful experience.
More of that please.
One of the many things I love about photography is that no two shoot are the same and there really is a wide variety of subjects to photograph. Each shoot is a challenge and there is a pleasure in learning something new every time.
I may be known for my professional people photography and portraits, head shots, company profile etc. and my commercial work, but I love taking interior and architectural photography projects on as well.
This was a commission for a Brighton building and design company who wanted me to document some recent work for them.
Something i've been wanting to do since I moved down to Brighton in 1992 was see the victorian sewer network and go on the tour which used to be organised during the Brighton Festival.
Well i'm very pleased to say that I got the opportunity to do so and to photograph the experience for Viva Brighton Magazine. We were given a private tour of this fantastic and fascinating environment and I tried to document it as best I could while shooting with the brief in mind. I learnt so many things about sewage and how the Victorians over engineered things, it was as I said fascinating.
If you ever get the chance to go on the tour, I highly recommend it, just don't wait 25 years like I did.
