Signwriter // Andrew Grundon
My ongoing series of portraits with the magazine Discover Britain. This time featuring signwriter Andrew Grundon. Andrew’s busy studio bursting with antique signs and sculptures is based in a small village on the North West side of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall.
Lock & Co Hatters // Discover Britain
Lock & Co Hatters, No 6 St James Street in London. Established in 1676, which makes it the oldest hat shop in the world and the oldest shop in London still in existence. I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon there photographing both the shop and it's retail manager Michael Hagon.
Lockdown Baby // Guardian Weekend
Lockdown Living - My portraits of writer Richard Godwin and his newborn son for a piece in the Guardian Weekend about having a baby in lockdown. I had assumed it was probably a pretty good time to have a baby (impending doom concerns aside), with lots of time at home and nowhere else to go. Chatting to Richard I quickly realised I hadn't considered the many downsides of bringing a little person into the world at this time. I had heard horror stories from another friend of fathers not allowed to accompany their partners to check ups and even the birth! That is pretty heartbreaking. The implications on a child born at this strange and sanitised moment in history are interesting.
Sadie Frost & Raff Law // Sunday Times Magazine
Actor and Producer Sadie Frost at home during Lockdown #3 with her son Raff Law. Photography commissioned by the Sunday Times Magazine.
Jen Reid // Observer New Review
Black Lives Matter activist Jen Reid was the subject of the 'A Surge of Power' sculpture by artist Marc Quinn. It is based on a photograph of Jen during a BLM protest, raising her arm in a Black Power salute during the toppling of the Edward Colston statue in Bristol.
Sarah Beeney | Quickbooks // Bridge Studios
Sarah Beeney, photographed for Quickbooks. Perusing through hard drives I came across this set taken a while back. On second viewing this portrait stood out, a simple portrait with muted tones.
