This page is a celebration of my many years as a professional photographer and showcases a lot of my personal work as well as professional assignments. Many changes to the industry have occurred since I stared out but my basic approach remains the same and furthermore, I have embraced the current technology available to my advantage:
I am not the type of Professional Photographer to be put into a
one category box. Working within a variety of genres, I always shoot very clean graphic images in terms of composition, use of light & shadow and attention to detail. My portraits reflect the personality of my subjects with whom I quickly establish a rapport, enabling them to relax and be themselves. I use portable lighting in many of my shoots but still capture candid moments within this controlled environment. However, I mainly use available light when photographing travel, lifestyle and reportage scenes. I have worked in many parts of the world, often in harsh environments on short deadlines but have the necessary experience, determination, organisational and communication skills to make things happen. My personal portrait work: is in the collections of the National Media Museum and the National Portrait Gallery. My work is sold as prints posters and I also license my images for royalties. there are many more photos on my website: http://simonlewisphotography.co.uk
