Black and White Portrait Photography

Portraits

You’ll find below a selection of my portraits. The pictures were taken in New Zealand, where I’m from, and in London, where I go to from time to time. The subjects are predominately artists, from painters to musicians, to actors.

I’m a wee bit fascinated by the ways that people react to live music. The reactions can be as captivating as the music itself.

Pictures of Artists

Taking black and white pictures of artists brings a lot of joy. Such a thrill to see them at work, on the stage at festivals or clubs, and wherever they are most creative.
