    I am always happy when I get commissioned BW low-k I am always happy when I get commissioned BW low-key portraiture. Side lighting is not easy, and making sure that the shadows fall in the right place is sometimes tricky, but it's very rewarding to create drama and hard-hitting emotions within a shot – it's really about telling a story with the light, letting the sitter emerge from the darkness. Amelia Hughes here keeping it very classy, and timeless.

    LONG READ, BIG NEWS [and audio ON, please] My fir LONG READ, BIG NEWS [and audio ON, please] My first book is finished and out in the world. It's my discovery journey of a nondescript place through photography and literature and it's called PROPERTY. (yes, all capital letters and a dot). PROPERTY. is a site-responsive art project, where a photographer and a model artist have explored (and have been inspired by) a building that is currently living on borrowed time, as it will be demolished soon – and writers and poets have created a beautiful new landscape with words. More than anything else, though, I like to call it a multi-layered tactile photo thriller. This book had a long, slow gestation, and its birth owes a lot to many different people. I am the photographer and the plotter-in-chief, and I've written a short novel. The model (and drawing artist) is Diana Christine Keller. The writers are Biz Bond, Adriano Castelli, Laura Field, Eva Lewis, Claire Medcalf, Giorgio Paolino, Kemi Athene Pennicott, Michelle Sarkisyan, Lauren Temple, Raffaele Vertaldi and Peter Wilkinson. Graphic design by The Lemon Twist, Manchester. Typefaces by atipo foundry, Gijón (Spain). Special thanks to Maria Zachariadou for her invaluable support throughout this journey and also for playing the Prelude from Cello Suite no. 1 in G major BWV 1007 by Johann Sebastian Bach for this video teaser (edited by The Lemon Twist). #books #bookstagram #bookinthemaking #microstory #fictionalwriting #stories_from_lens #textandimage #creativechallenge #wordsmith #copywriting #creativewriting #photobook #collaboration #writingcommunity #stories #storytelling #photobook #portraitmood #portraitoftheday #portraitphotography #photooftheday #photographylovers #lnaturallight #portraiture #editorialportrait #studioportrait #behindthescenes #portrait #enviromentalportrait
    MARK BENNETT | Last month I managed to take anot MARK BENNETT | Last month I managed to take another portrait for the When in Manchester project. I got in touch with Mark Bennett as I really liked his features and we agreed to meet in the New Islington area on a very windy and rainy day. I was not sure if I wanted to go ahead with the portrait session, but once I met Mark, I felt he was the right person to portray in that weather! We created some stunning images with plenty of character, I really like this one which we took just before parting ways. Mark is such an interesting person and it had loads of stories to tell. I should definitely have more pictures taken in the rain, as Manchester is a city where it rains a lot... Do you want to have your portrait taken? "When in Manchester" is still very much in progress, so please get in touch to be featured in.

    Portrait of Kevin Moyo. Kevin kindly took part in Portrait of Kevin Moyo. Kevin kindly took part in my "When in Manchester" series. We had a very friendly conversation and we also had a chance to talk about Italy – there is a very interesting Italian twist in Kevin's life, as he spent a few months in Le Marche region while playing basketball for Virtus Basket Porto San Giorgio. He says that he misses fried calamari! Yet another opportunity to meet Mancunians from all walks of life, for which I am so grateful.
