Notting Hill - London LockDown - CoronaVirus Part 2

Notting Hill - London Lock Down - CoronaVirus Part 2
Check out Notting Hill London Lockdown series Part 1
I am visually documenting the effects that the coronavirus is having on my neighbourhood in West London. The UK lockdown has meant the temporary closure of a major tourist area around Notting Hill and Portobello Road Market. Each time I go out for one of my daily walks I have been taking my iPhone out with me and taking snapshots that reflect the sign of the times for residents, visitors and local businesses to Notting Hill. I will keep on adding new pics as I take them.
This part 2 series of pics focuses on the writing on the walls - mainly witty political or poetic street graffiti seen around Notting Hill. On the more commercial side of things, the customer notices put up by local businesses such as restaurants and cafes who have been forced to temporarily close while the lockdown is in place.
Most signs were hopeful and upbeat, but you obviously can feel the frustration and sadness in the tone of words. I know many of these closed shop fronts are independent businesses, and not corporate chains so people's livlihoods are at stake unfortunately. But this is the reality right now for many self employed and sole traders in the UK.
That being said, I hope that you are all keeping well in this very much unprecedented time. It is a little scary and overwhelming at times, but we will get through this. We all need to work together, be responsible, be respectful and be kind. Please self-isolating as much as possible, by staying home and only going out for walks and essential shopping as advised.
I have unfortunately had to put all my scheduled street photography workshops, photo tours, commercial jobs, etc on hold unfortunately. But I am hoping that things can get back to normal sometime in the not too distant future when it is safe to do so.
I am self isolating at home, but still taking care of photography print orders that come through from my online store on Etsy.
FYI, I currently have put a sale on (20% off) on all prints if you wish to make a quarantine purchase!
Thanks and see you on the other side!

Hackett London - Street Style Photoshoot - Shoreditch
14th September 2019
Street Style Photoshoot around Shoreditch in association with Hackett London
British mens clothing brand Hackett London ran an online contest to promote their new brand. As part of the prize for the winner & guest was an all expenses paid holiday to London, an invitation to their Shoreditch store to choose some new free clothing items of their choice, plus a private photography tour with a street-style/hipster shoot with myself wearing the Hackett brand clothing.
The two prize winners travelled from Norway and were really easy to work with. We had an enjoyable stroll around Shoreditch including Brick Lane, checking out the street art, the boutiques, and we got some cool street style shots on what was a beautiful, sunny day in London.
Many thanks to Hackett London and the staff at the Brushfield Street, Shoreditch store for your hospitality.
If you are interested in a private photo tour, hiring me as your personal photographer for your day in London, or want some street style photography for your brand, please get in touch with details of your project or visit to London.

Personal Photographer - London Travel Services
24th July 2019
Some shots from a recent 'Personal Photographer' gig in London last weekend. I was hired by this lovely family of five, who were visiting from Texas, United States for a few days in the city.
When I asked the dad if they found me through my website, he said "No, the Concierge recommended us to reach out to you for taking our family photos while we are there". Good to know that I am being recommended by hotel staff, considering they were staying at a prestigious one on Westminster Bridge, where I went to meet them.
They wanted some photo memories of their family trip to London and they contacted me. Clients usually already have a rough idea of tourist attractions & locations they want to visit. In addition, I always suggest some non-touristy 'secret' places only a London local photographer would know, which they appreciated.
Personal photographer shoots are always a lot of fun, especially when you have easygoing subjects to work with. I was given the go-ahead to take full creative control of the 4-hour session, which allowed me to capture both the posed family photos they wanted, but also some fun, candid moments when I observed them.
I just finished editing the final selection of photos, which I have now sent over to the client.
If you have plans to visit London and would like to hire me as your personal photographer, please get in touch to discuss a session!

Street Style Photoshoot - Veenus London Music (II)
21st September 2017
Another shot from my street style photoshoot with the songwriting duo Veenus London Music.
One of my favourite things about doing photoshoots, is that moment when the clients, who are initially nervous/self conscience, start to gain your trust and relax into the shoot. It is the job of the photographer, to put them at ease, so that they become themselves and their personalities & chemistry comes through. I usually know that I'm doing a good job when they almost forget that I'm even there!
If you are interested in a private 'street style' photoshoot for yourself, band or business, please get in touch with me.

Street Style Photoshoot - Veenus London Music (I)
21st September 2017
One of my favourite images from a recent photoshoot I did with the songwriting duo Veenus London Music. My brief was simply to capture their vibe in a urban street style. No fancy lights, reflectors or gimmicks. Just working with natural light, as I would do anyway, and a decent fixed lens is all I really need!
