The Worlds Most Powerful Art Buyers

I love black and white images and I have spent many years shooting black and white Kodak TRI-X 400 film using just a Leica M6 and a 35mm lens trying to get close to my subjects and open up their lives to my camera.
I still continue to do some documentary work outside of my weddings - it allows me step into the world of my subjects and experience their lives, which is an absolute privilege and I do at times have to pinch myself and remind myself how fortunate I am.
So the reason for the post, I was commissioned recently by an art magazine based in New York to document two of the worlds most powerful art buyers. My subjects were Daria Zhukova (girlfriend of Roman Abramovich, Chelsea Football Club owner and Russian oligarch) and Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst (art collector) visiting the studio of Antony Gormley (the artist/sculptor). These are the kinds of projects that I really enjoy. You are given the freedom by the picture editor to do what you want and be as artistic as you like and your subjects know to ignore you and let you get on with it.
The magazine Art + Auction is now on-sale and can be viewed on-line here. Below you can see my cover picture and a selection of images taken from the project. |

We were recently commissioned to produce a series of limited edition prints for a client. We just finished work on some of them today and I thought I would share some of the images with you. The locations are all in Jersey, Channel Islands, where we have our studio. We have used a series of textures to produce something different! This first picture is of Grosnez castle.
