40” x 30” (101 cm x 76 cm) oil on stretched canvas. On this occasion the sitter sent me a very ‘normal’ head and shoulders shot. I felt it was too conventional a pose from someone who appeared not to be conventional herself and asked for a different photograph. Perhaps frustrated by my request, she sent me what she intended to be a ‘silly’ pose, craning her head to look up at the camera. It was perfect. I am interested in how background can tell us something about the sitter without resorting to detail. The specific shade of green is her favourite colour, the gold metallic emphasises this young woman’s poise.

My interest is in the human being in front of me - specifically in the thoughts and feelings of that person, communicated through their face, their upper body and their pose. When working with photos to commission I find both carefully composed shots and those that are happy accidents equally fascinating. The client’s choice gives me clues about how they’d like the sitter to be portrayed - whether this is themselves or a loved one. And a portrait does not have to be full of light and smiles! Some of the most powerful are more complicated than that, marking a transition or a significant time in life. This is what I seek to capture and elevate.
