I recently had the real privilege of collaborating with Josephine on a photoshoot. It took me almost three years to persuade her to agree to a shoot with me, and she was very reticent, until one day she changed her mind completely and we had a really fun time taking some beautiful shots. She said that she didn't think she was photogenic!
Josephine is an incredibly talented, creative and highly intelligent young woman and is such a lovely person. I am humbled that she trusted me to capture the beautiful images you can find in the 'Portrait Portfolio' section.
Here is my favorite image from the shoot:

Top Award for Themed Portfolio

In a recent competition my Themed Portfolio of Imogen Dyer (Weekly Imogen on Youtube) won a top Honours award. The portfolio entitled "Six in the City" was assessed by two of New Zealand's best known, and highly acclaimed professional photographers, Scott Fowler EFIAP FPSNZ GPSA PPSA (https://www.scottfowlerworkshops.com/) and Ron Willems FPSNZ (http://www.ronwillemsphoto.com/home.php). The portfolio was not only judged on the quality of the individual images but also on how they sat together as a set. The portfolio was a print submission and printed at 960x600mm - it looked amazing.
The images were taken during an evening workshop with Imogen and well known photographer Mark Wilkinson in the West End of London in September 2017.
