Open House: Diana Everett

June 8, 2015 by lewisphoto

DIANA EVERETT  © DANIEL LEWIS Another week, another artist portrait sitting.  Botanical painter Diana Everett was my latest victim.  I was very much looking forward to photographing her because she and her studio would be a first of its type in the project.  For the first time we would be taking to the water. Diana’s studio, in her home, is in fact moored up on the banks of Hammersmith on the most beautiful barge.  Incredibly, moored right next door to […]

Isobel Peachey with her portrait of HRH The Princess Royal / © Daniel Lewis 2015 I can finally reveal this portrait of the wonderfully talented painter Isobel Peachey in her studio with her tremendous commissioned work of HRH The Princess Royal.  I’d been keeping it back until Isobel officially unveiled her painting, so here it is. Isobel had previously painted the Princess’ mother, HM The Queen for Cunard. To see more of Isobel Peachey’s stunning work please visit her website. […]

Open House: Jonathan Mercer

May 19, 2015 by lewisphoto

This shoot was the quickest of the entire project so far, such was the ease of both Jonathan’s comfort in front of camera but also the fact that the picture pretty much took care of itself.

Open House: Mariana Gordon Portrait

Mariana Gordon pictured in her studio /  © Daniel Lewis 2015 The second portrait I shot for my ongoing ‘Open House’ portrait series this month was the multi-talented Mariana Gordon at her Shepherds Bush studio in west London.  She is a member of the Artists at Home group who I am working my way through this year.  This particular group consists of about fifty artists in the Chiswick and Hammersmith areas. Romanian born Mariana, who moved to the UK in […]

Open House: Tristan v Christann Portrait

April 2, 2015 by lewisphoto

Tristan v Christann in his studio/ © Daniel Lewis 2015 My ongoing ‘Open House’ portrait series, of artists in their studios, gained two new additions just recently.  Up and coming fashion designer Tristan v Christann, who is based in Shepherds Bush, was the first, who kindly allowed me into his studio for a few hours on what was a lovely sunny, spring Saturday afternoon.  The fact that the sun was out really made the difference to the session.  Tristan had […]

‘Bin There, Dump That’ Promo Shoot

February 18, 2015 by lewisphoto

The motley crew from Watch TV’s new series ‘Bin There, Dump That’ Following up on a previous shoot for UKTV in which I photographed publicity stills for a series called ‘Honey I Bought the House’, I was asked back to shoot some promo shots for another show, entitled ‘Bin There, Dump That’, which goes behind the scenes of the waste industry, showing entertaining characters that’ll make you rethink one of Britain’s least glamorous jobs. It was a tricky shoot because […]

The January edition of the Residents Journal contains a three page feature on my Putney Artists project, entitled ‘Open House’.  Seven of the images appear in the cutout section on the front cover – including (unfortunately) a picture of myself in the centre.  I spoke to the editor Jennifer Mason about what inspired me to start the project, my experiences shooting it and what I plan to do next.  All the images from the series are included.

‘Honey I Bought the House’ Promo Shoot

December 5, 2014 by lewisphoto

You may have caught the pilot episode of ‘Honey I Bought the House’ last night on WATCH, in which a young couple are given £15,000 to put towards their deposit in securing their first foray onto the property ladder.  But there’s a catch, only one of them is able to have anything to do with the decision making. The pilot episode focused on young couple Charley & Chris and I was tasked with photographing them outside their house, without giving […]

Sydney

September 29, 2014 by lewisphoto

I’ve just returned from glorious Sydney, what a place. Due to work commitments I only had the chance to spend a day or two to have a look around and shoot my own pictures but I came away with a nice little selection of moody black & white images, with a few colour ones thrown in too.

Open House Portrait Series

September 22, 2014 by lewisphoto

An artist’s studio is a place of creativity, but also of emotion; serenity, pride, frustration, ambition, sadness, happiness, reflection and inspiration are in there, but, to the outsider looking in, a studio offers a glimpse of their soul.

Tim Walker Exhibition at Somerset House

November 24, 2012 by lewisphoto

During the week I visited Somerset House, on The Strand, to see one of the best photography retrospectives I’ve ever been to. It showcases the amazing work of renowned fashion photographer Tim Walker and is a true inspiration for photographers and fashionistas everywhere. It certainly was for me!
