Photographic Style

I use natural light as much as possible. I am not against using artificial light, but natural light produces a more flattering light for a model.

I try to edit photographs as little as possible. Of course, all pictures require a little editing here and there. These are most often things that were missed when taking the photograph.

All edits are discussed with the model beforehand.

Motivation

When it comes to collaborating, the things that motivate me are ideas and the people involved in the project.

To achieve a goal, you have to be focussed, but the process should also be fun. It’s often the mistake that people make. That, to be serious, means you can’t have fun.

Me, Myself & I

TLDR

I am an English photographer from London, England. I studied photography at the London School of Photography in the 1990s, where I specialised in environmental portraiture. In 2000, I moved to Stockholm, Sweden, where I stayed for ten years. I then moved to Skåne, where I still live.

Background

I was born and raised in south London, where I lived for thirty years before decided I needed a new challenge.

As I had friends in Sweden and had visited the country numerous time, I decided to moved to Stockholm, where I lived for ten years. My ‘day job’ is in IT, and when my company relocated to Skåne I decided to move with it rather than become unemployed.

What is ‘environmental portraiture’?

Even though I studied photography, I didn’t have any ambition to be a full-time photographer. I like to do photography for enjoyment, so the projects I undertake have to be interesting.

I studied photography at the London School of Photography, where I specialised in environmental portraiture. This genre of photography involves taking photographs of people in an authentic setting, usually one that holds a personal significance to them. Such as their home, work, interests or significant moments in their lives.

The future

I usually have a number of projects ongoing, and I’m always open to collaborating with people if the project is interesting.
