Those of you who follow my blog and instagram feed, see me using Lastolite Collapsable Backdrops on the majority of my Portrait Sittings. Here are my top 10 backdrops which I recommend for headshots & portraits. As a travelling portraitist collapsible backgrounds are a quick and easy solution. They take seconds to set up and pack away making them equally convenient to pop-open in offices & clients homes.
Projects are essential, as a portrait photographer promoting your technique & style is a tried and tested method of securing new clients and interest in your work. Renown presenters Ant & Dec sat for a dual portrait just before the new normal became wonted. The portrait took centre stage in Northerners, a collection of faces who hail from the North of England, just like myself, exhibited in Manchester last year.
Just before Covid-19 ravaged my industry and that of Actors & Entertainers. I did have the chance to express my frustration on a portrait sitting with Actor Chad Philips. Who expressed my Caravaggisti creative direction in this depiction of anger and frustration.
