It was taken a few years ago in Clapham and is still one of my favourite London Musicians Portraits.\u00a0I\u2019m doing several of these favourite image series in the different genres of photography that I do. My work as a professional London photographer is really varied and I love it! I photograph families, weddings, musicians and do lots of London headshot photography and no two days are ever the same!\u00a0People often ask me which my favourite portraits are that I\u2019ve taken over the years. I thought it would be nice to share some of the photographs with you and also my\u00a0thought process behind creating the images.<\/p>\n<h2>Natural London Musicians Portraits<\/h2>\n<p>I took this musicians portrait of Louisa in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnibus-clapham.org\">Clapham Omnibus<\/a>,\u00a0a fascinating building situated next to Clapham Common. The Omnibus is an award-winning independent theatre in this lovely area of South London. I met up with Louisa, an incredibly talented young violinist, one morning. She was achieving huge success already in the classical music world and needed some professional musicians portraits for her publicity.<\/p>\n<p>The musicians photography session began in Clapham Common, as I love doing at least part\u00a0of all sessions outdoors. We got some beautiful natural London musicians portraits of Louisa amongst the trees and in the bandstand. We were then allowed to take some photographs inside Clapham Omnibus, as Louisa had performed several times in the venue. After getting some striking\u00a0images in the streets around the theatre, which had some brilliantly colourful backgrounds, we made our way inside the building.<\/p>\n<h2>A musician amongst the paintings<\/h2>\n<p>I was immediately struck with the wall in the image below as soon as I saw it. It was full of colour, which I love, and had a perfect space for Louisa to fit in\u00a0amongst\u00a0the paintings on the wall. I just knew it was going to make a unique, creative musicians portrait. Louisa sat down with her violin case and I took\u00a0several photographs\u00a0of her in this spot. In some of the images she was smiling at me, in some she was looking away, but this one, with her direct gaze at the camera, is my favourite. Louisa was\u00a0so relaxed in front of the camera all morning and I just love her look in this image. And I think all the colours in the room around her work perfectly too. I hope you enjoy this London musicians portrait as much as I do.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in need of some new musicians images for your publicity, please do get in touch. As well as getting some traditional professional headshot images I\u2019ll also create something a little different for\u00a0you, that will help you stand out in the music world.
