Last month I was commissioned yet again by the Sheikh Zayed Book Awards and friend, neighbour and inspirator,
Mahmoud Kaabour to shoot portraits of the winners of the awards.

I have always loved photographing portraits of the winning authors and publishers. The brief has always been to produce simple, expressive portraits of the winners using simple lighting on a seamless background. The consistency of lighting and setting really pushes me to capture the individuality of each of these wonderful people and to create a rapport, as brief as it might be, with the subject.
I was also able to try out a new lighting technique too! It seems to have worked well without taking away from the simplicity of the portraits.
I feel so thankful to the subjects for leaving a little piece of themselves in these images.
