So much of the portraiture commissioned in the press and print industry is reluctant to take risks. I want to challenge that safety and introduce moments of spontaneity and awkwardness. Too often portraits of people, famous or even notorious, are aggrandising and sycophantic. I want to strip back the artifice and enforce strangeness and quietness in its place.

Nicholas accepted my invitation to sit for a portrait at the London Studio in Farringdon. We spent an hour capturing a series of theatrical portraits.
