Father of the bride

Nottingham 2006
Black and white print (1/75)
A widower has a quiet moment with his daughter before she puts her wedding dress on.
Shot using natural light from the kitchen window over the sink. The father is sitting on the work surface.

This is the first in a series of black and white portraits inspired by an exhibition of work by Diane Arbus at the Nottingham Contemporary. The primary inspiration extends only as far as the print format of black and white. The forteen inch square presentation and the fact that the images are portraits. I hope to pick images that are not stricly formal portraiture but reflect a look or mood the subject might not think of as a posed "grin and bear it" image.

The 14 inch square images are available to buy and will be limited edition prints of 20 of each image. Handsigned, mounted and framed.
