One of my images of Harnaam Kaur in Grazia Magazine this week. Harnaam has a two page exclusive feature on her becoming the new face of Illamaqua
I had the pleasure of photographing the inspirational and brave woman Harnaam Kaur, for Models of Diversity in the grounds of Holland Park. The weather was perfect and heralded the start of summer. This was to be the first meeting with Harnaam and to be honest I didn’t know what to expect. What should I have expected? It became apparent within seconds I was in the presence of a beautiful and strong human being who had already touched so many peoples lives. Harnaam had brought with her a suitcase full of clothes both traditional in Asian and Western ways to wear during the shoot. Soon after I started photographing Harnaam Kaur I saw the composure and calm from within, and rather than seeing a bitter dismissive personality come to the surface, full of hatred for the horrible things that have been said and done to her so far in life, there was this funny happy soul, whose inner and outer beauty shone through.
The day went far too quickly and we shot four or five outfits before our range of available quiet corners of the glorious Holland Park was full to the brim with tourists and locals making the most of the pleasant surroundings and the sunshine. Harnaam had great poise and elegance and found it easy to pose amongst the hundreds of people thronging the park during that Sunday. A couple came up to Harnaam as they had recognised her, speaking only of the wonderful work she had done to date. Harnaam Kaur in Grazia Magazine this week.
You can see a selection of images I took on the day here in an earlier posting.

A series on my images used as part of an editorial feature for Aleah Leigh Designs has just been published in the online magazine Contessa’s Court October 2015 issue. The 7 images (pages 62, 63, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 and 77) were taken over the last couple of years, the most recent being of Gordon Flynn, the magazine’s European Fashion Director with the wing images and the ‘digital’ makeup by Aleah (bottom row, above). Some of the images use graphical effects, other are almost straight out of the camera. I always pre-plan a set of images if they are going to require some digital manipulation and I shoot many more images than I am going to need, just in case. Images such as the head being pulled out of the wall take an average of 5-6 hours to complete. I’m really please Contessa’s Court have published these images, thank you Gordon.
There are some new concepts in the pipeline to take the ‘wings’ theme further as well as some totally new ideas coming from the three of us.
We were all together again for the Crystal Palace vs. West Ham match last Saturday as Aleah’s football inspired designs were shown during halftime to promote British Polio Fellowship and to create awareness for this worthy charity which helps those affected by both Polio and Post Polio Syndrome.
