Ean's Beautiful Images of
Pure Elegance
Communication, engagement, interaction, and passion are vital to creating stunning bespoke images in natural daylight or in a studio with creative, simple flash lighting. I have over 25 years of experience creating portraits in homes, on location and in the studio, producing elegant and uncontrived portraits.
Whether the work is contemporary, music, corporate, or lifestyle, I aim to produce work that will stand the test of time and look classic in years to come.
You can only do this successfully if you enjoy making connections and building relationships, and this matters to me. I want to give clients something special by getting to know my subjects a little because every person and every moment is unique. At the end of the day, it's about framing someone's life.
My style of portraiture is classical and simple, with a twist, some drama, and edginess where the subject is fully engaged. This allows me to connect creating images with a strong statement, transporting feelings or creating a special mood.
An average portrait session takes around 60-90 minutes. During this time, I can photograph group shots and individual portraits. My home-based studio can accommodate groups of between two and six people.
I advise clients to present their portraits in some of my Wall Art packages. The final images you select will be personally retouched by me using the latest digital imaging software and professionally printed by some of the UK's finest printers. Your portraits can be presented in bespoke Wall Art frames and hand-made contemporary wall-mounted products.
Ean's Story
" During my late teenage years, I was undecided about the career path that I wanted to follow. After college, my interest in photography continued, but I did not know how to take it further. I worked in different jobs, from a warehouse operative to a camera operator for a graphics company.
In 1990, I took a short photography course in Still Life Photography in night school. The experience was invaluable, and it rekindled my interest in photography. I started to look more closely at what I most enjoyed photographing. This was mainly within the arts, music, theatre and dance. I had work published in various magazines relating to dance and theatre. And was commissioned by Talawa Theatre Company to photograph their forthcoming production.
For the next few years, I continued to work as a freelance photographer in this area, but felt I needed more skills and training to take me to the next level. I had started taking portraits, received positive feedback, and felt this was an area to explore further.
In 1994, I applied for a graduate course in Professional Photography Practice at the London College of Printing and Distributive Trades. The course enhanced my knowledge of photography by deepening my understanding of professional processes and skills, and by building an original, personally tailored photography portfolio. I gained experience in analogue darkroom skills, medium- and large-format cameras, and studio lighting. I developed my own style and completed the course with distinction in readiness for progression to future studies or career opportunities.
