I shot the gorgeous Cath de Rivaz in a kitchen in Stoke Newington! Make-up by the talented Andrea Innocenti. We took on 2 very opposing looks... A modern, masculine, equestrian feel and another inspired by femininity, colours, fairy tales and Tim Walker.
Another exciting shoot between the make-up artist and I coming up next week. Pulling inspiration from fairy tales, the power of colour, lace and Tim Walker...

When people ask me what they should do to become a photographer. I seldom mention cameras or technique. I say, "If you want to be a photographer, first leave home." And as Paul Theroux further advises, "Go as far as you can. Become a stranger in a strange land. Acquire humility."
In the end, I can't imagine another way of being. My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.

Robert Capa once stated that the best advice he could give to other photographers was: "Like people and let them know it."
