In September 2020, I was approached by the RA Magazine to shoot a portrait of Sculptor Cathie Pilkington for their Winter 2020 Issue. The image was shot in the RA keepers studio at the Royal Academy Gallery and published in print to accompany the article in December 2020.
As a contributor I was also asked to share my favourite deception of animal, I choose Richard Billingham’s series of family portraits which can be viewed in the image set below.

In November I created a test shoot at home exploring berries and granola on a dark background. I used my new Godox AD600 flash lighting kit to create more of a sharper feel.

Earlier this year, I became a member of The Luupe last month they asked some of their members to share a self-portrait and a statement as to why it’s meaningful to them.
This is my self portrait along with my statement below, you can also find the feature on their website.
“I haven’t shot a self-portrait for a while, I find it very daunting, I often take silly selfies but never share it with anyone. This self-portrait is important for me as it takes me out of my comfort zone.”

At the beginning of the year, I started working on a small project where I would find fruit and veg from my local super market and match it with the background. My first image “Greens on Green” was shot in January 2020 and I anticipated on continuing this project throughout the year, however due to Covid this project was put on pause. Thankfully I managed to continue the project last week in my home studio, as I’ve moved home since my last shoot, the lighting is a bit different but I feel that they still look great as a series. I hope to continue this project next month and produce a simular image using a different colour.
