Honorable Mention
Caldear
DESCRIPTION
As a studio manager and in-house photographer, I am frequently called on to shoot products. Trying to keep visuals fresh and striking can be challenging.These single earrings have separate moving parts that I found reminiscent of Calder's hanging mobiles in the way their elements spun slowly. Using this as a starting point, I then crafted a series of abstract shapes from coat hangers, again a nod to Calder's wire faces, and hung them against sheets of blue latex. AUTHOR
I am a portrait and still life photographer and studio manager based in London. I shoot across a variety of publications, often with little brief, budget or turnaround time. That doesn't stop art directors and picture desks from being demanding however so I have become accustomed to being creatively fast-paced! I love to shoot on my own terms too, where I get the chance to explore my own ideas in greater depth. I aim to create arresting photographs often with a bold colour palette and a lighting style that is graphic and dynamic.
