Relaxed professional profile head shots

I always like meeting new people and taking informal professional profile head shots for them and hearing their stories about who they are and how they got to be where they’re going.

In this case Ben is a Brighton based ghost writer, author and writing coach specialising in self help and wellness books.

He contacted me and we had a chat about what he’s looking for and said that “One of things I love about the work on your site is that they can be used for formal purposes but they are anything but stuffy/uptight, you capture the  warmth and humanity of your subjects.”

I always like to hear how people see my portraits / head shots and work with them to get what they are looking for and i’m pretty pleased with the results from this shoot.

Book Authors / Writers profile portraits

I've been photographing a few book authors / writers profile shots recently and I really like getting to know these interesting people during our time shooting. They all seem to be fascinating people with interesting stories to tell.

So I thought i'd share a few of the profile / portrait shots of them here.

Book Cover Photography

I'm very excited to show you the book cover which I recently did the photography for.

It's a political autobiography of Baroness Joyce Gould who has lead an amazing life (look here up on Wikipedia) and was a total joy to photography and take her portrait.

The book is being published this month by Bite Back Publishing and can be purchased from Amazon and all good book shops.

Here is the cover:

And here is the whole dust jacket with another of my portraits from the session on the back:
