I've recently come across the work of Katerina Plotnikov. I admire her sense of traditional portraiture but I'm more interested in her use of live, dangerous animals. It strengthens the work's natural themes.

Haryana School, India.
In November 2013 I visited the school of Haryana, in Faridabad, Northern India.
I'm not normally a documentary/travel photographer but in such an interesting new environment I was unable to resist giving it a shot.
Unlike my normal work I've not retouched the images and shown the natural beauty of the scene.

Red On Red
Happy 2014.
Red on Red was an exploration of tone within colour, with specifically red haired models.

Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize
After not making it into the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize I took a closer look at the more successful applicants. Each piece has a strong story and social commentary behind it, moreso than my own lighter hearted efforts. Here I share with you my favourites.
The Twins by Dorothee Deiss - 2nd Place
I love the colour palette of this open portrait based on time tested relationships. Their pose is a refreshing change from your average family portrait.
Phoebe and the Rat by Laura Stevens
This photographer was focusing on the relations between man and pets, the lighting gives it a beautiful timeless feel.
