Graeme was my first portrait and lately he’s felt neglected on the blog http://bit.ly/bpweWv So today is Graeme Day.
This photo is the shot he’s currently using professionally on spotlight. I love it because I think he looks like a 60’s action hero in it.
Graeme is nearly half a foot taller than me so to get the angle and the light I precariously balanced myself on a bench. The light on his face is the light reflected from the canal where we took the photos.
I was quite nervous about having one of my photos used professionally. So I made sure Graeme sought advice from his agent and friends before he used it. Fortunately the feedback was positive.
