It was a surprise to be approached by a magazine editor, Sharon Martin,to be a subject of an article, I am often approached by the editorial department of magazines to provide an image of a subject they are featuring, in fact it is one of the areas of photography that I most enjoy, portraits of 'interesting' people, an article is often already written, and the subject is seen as someone worth photographing and I am always delighted to photograph the subject, however, why me as as a subject of an article?

Well I am lucky that I have photographed a large number of celebrities over the years, although I have never been a specialist in that area, but by association I suppose some of that celebrity status rubs off?

I would like to think I am not star struck or ever have been, I treat every subject I photograph with the same respect, be they Dinner Ladies or the CEO of the company, it helps that as a child I would accompany my father Gus Gullachsen, who worked as a stills photographer for television & theatre so meeting famous people was part of my life.

It seems that having shot a few faces and taken a few images over a long career, someone maybe interested, so Cotswolds Living interviewed me and featured a few images from my folio, it is a great compliment, but the reality is, the subjects are the stars, I am just a photographer.
