Both Kyle and myself (Louise) have had a passion for portraiture for as long as we can remember. Kyle takes an illustrative approach to the way he produces work. Initially Kyle had an attraction for capturing interesting textures. This evolved into using textures as part of a series of creative portraits, combining the human form with naturally decaying textures.
Below is a perfect example of one of his well known pieces called 'Within'. Many more can be seen in our
fine art gallery on this site.
Traditionally the portrait and the texture were shot separately on transparency film. The slides were then placed one on top of the other using the sandwiching technique. A cibachrome photograph was then produced with the 2 images printed as one final portrait.
This particular image won overall in the British Institute of Professional Photography International Photographer of the year, in 2001.
The style of portraits that I enjoy capturing are those precious family moments. We are often asked to
photograph family members as a surprise gift for a relative. The feedback and reaction to receiving something so sentimental is really rewarding.
Spending time with families and capturing family portraits, especially of young children, is an area of photography that I especially enjoy. It is lovely to see families returning for future shoots as their little ones grow up and new additions arrive.
Now and again we get the opportunity to capture more creative baby portraits. This cute little line up was a group of 9 new Mum's who were all close friends. The studio was pretty crazy that day!
