Photography

I have always held a facination with capturing people’s portraits, and in my spare time I enjoy painting them in oil, but in much of my work I have also had the opportunity to take photograph portraits for theatre publicity and actor headshots also.
Aside from publicity headshots however I also enjoy more elaborate set ups such as recreating Pre-Raphealite paintings with my mum and sister during the first Covid lockdown in 2020. All these have given me the experience of working with and directing actors and models, scene-locating and dressing, and hundreds of hours worth of experience editing and retouching photographs.
I work with a Nikon DSLR D3500.
