Ricky Gervais at The National Portrait Gallery

For those of you who don’t know, I do have the odd portrait with the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Here is one of the inimitable Ricky Gervais.

Colour Project X

A colourful  journey around the body.

I used colour to transform our bodies into small oasis’ of energy and peace.

All the work is done in camera and in the lighting.

I have been photographing the body with colour gels for many years. It was actually my main body of work when I left college, so I am really pleased to be working with colour like this on some of my recent work again.

It’s great to come back to genres with a ‘fresh’ set of eyes.

All people photography was done by yours truly.

Hampden Portraits

As a portrait photographer meeting and connecting to new people, however briefly, is always one of the perks and highlights of the profession.

I have been shooting the team at Hampden in the City on several occasions, and here are some of the latest photos of their new team members.

“The White Crow” – Oleg Ivenko starring in Ralph Fiennes’ new movie.

The story of Rudolph Nureyev gets dramatised to great effect by Ralph Fiennes in his new movie.

Starring Oleg Ivenko (pictured), Adele Exarchopoulos and Ralph Fiennes himself it focuses on his defection interspersed with key events of his life prior to the trip to Paris.

I photographed the magnificent Russian ballet dancer earlier in the year in London for Dance Gazette.
