authors
It is a great privilege to have taken portraits at the Stratford Literary Festival since 2015, I have met and photographed some of the most famous authors with the project 'Festival Faces' it now has a dedicated website that can be seen here Festival Faces. I have also produced many portraits for new and established authors for their books and marketing and communications for the publishers. This has been a very rewarding area of work, spending time with exceptional people and hopefully producing images that capture the essence of them in a fraction of a second when they communicate to me a little of their inner self, that decisive moment is rare but when caught can deliver an image that does justice to the sitter.
