This was taken with someone who had done very little modelling in her past, and I had the opportunity to take some portraits with her. This was done using the clam shell method and using soft boxes. A pink paper backdrop was use in my studio flat.The hat was found in a charity shop. Misha Silva is a natural Portugese model with a beautiful face that just speaks to the camera.
This was taken while working on a separate campaign for a dating company called Social Concierge. I always try and grab the models I work with for a few minutes to take a picture that I best feel encapsulates them. With Jennifer (the girl in the picture) she was such a warm, lovely, genuine person I just wanted to create something simple to try and reflect that. She's a beautiful person, both inside and out.
This was an in-studio, impromptu shoot, with the manager of a modelling agency. She always books others for shoots but rarely gets her own pictures taken - I tried to show a side of her she wasn't too familiar with - soft and unhurried. She loved the final results.
This portrait was a surprise for me. During the shooting, I was not so impressed with the styling. I wanted more blooming flowers. Therefore, the picture remained unused for a while. Then came the idea to create a winter image. White branches and white flowers and a few crystals and ice. Unbelievable, how it played out in the ends :-)
This portrait picture is from a wedding shoot in Tirupur (India). I caught a small ray of light coming through a window and falling on the ground while this beautiful bride was walking down the stairs. I knew then that I had to frame a shot there. I am sucker for black and white pictures and the output that I got was as exactly as I had imagined!
This photo session was inspired by Marie Antoinette and the Victorian era! It was shot in a porch using all authentic and antique furniture and props and it was the model's first photoshoot! I am thrilled with how these photos turned out!
This photo is part of a series dedicated to female faces , with reference to women's feelings . It's an attempt to look at the world of women , through my curiosity. The photo was made in studio with flash compacts and soft box.
There were only two small candles and a TV far to illuminate this magical moment . She was so beautiful. I wanted to stop time for a istant and his eyes shine as well , forever. I had my camera resting on the table and I shoot freehand despite long exposure times .
Taken using a combination of Three studio lights , two orange gels and one blue gel to set up the shot, using umbrellas rather than softboxes.
Taken in the street in Cassis in France. This was a tramp who was resting from the hot sun outside a shop. I asked if I could take his picture and gave him some money for his time. I wanted to do a mono but with a slight hint of colour _ especially the eyes. This is a tight crop on his face. Natural light only.
Sometimes, simplicity is best. Meet Lily, my over-dramatic, fashion-forward bestie. Always done up, I aimed to capture the natural beauty of Lily. Using an accented analogous technique, I took this photo in beside a small window in Lily's Toronto dorm room. As students, money was (and is) slim, I used a piece of dollar-store bristol board for my backdrop, and we scrounged Lily's ever-growing closet for matching colours. A natural light portrait that remains one of my favourite portraits.
Severine is a super nice, very friendly model. In this shooting we tried different light formers. I wanted to show that there is something more in her than nice and friendly: little drama and a very direct energy. I think it suits her very well.
My amazing model cum good friend, Nivetha Pethuraj, is a very talented actress and I had the privilege of doing a mini photoshoot for her during her short visit to my city. She is an amazing person with a beautiful soul and I am so glad that my first award is for a picture of my super awesome friend!
Melinda is a very lovely person and a nice model to work with. When i took that picture, it was the first time I photographed her. At the location I made this shot there was just available light, great to work to!
Lisa is one of my favourite models. I took the photo when i visited a good friend of mine in germany. In his kitchen there was such a great incident light, so that I immidiately knew that this will be a wonderful shot! The picture was taken just with the available light there.

I love this image for many reasons...Aside from accentuating the beauty of her features, there is a slight sadness in it which neither my subject nor me expected. Everytime I look at it, I can almost feel her thought process. I love both the simplicity and complexity of it.
I love street photography and portraits. It is my passion to catch the now moment. Happily, the now moment is often followed by the moment of meeting. And in this meeting it all happens. I enjoy it most when i go to the edge.
This is a photo of a Chinese woman Fiona Bao. She was a student for a while here in Denmark where I live.
I can still feel the taste of your lips ...
