About Nicholas Dawkes
Before becoming a full time photographer, I worked as an actor in the world of t.v. film and theatre, which gives me the unique benefit as a photographer, of understanding the creative industry from the inside.
Now running a successful studio in West London, I photograph people in the creative industries, from Actors to Models and Writers to Rock Bands. I love to learn more about the people I photograph, what you want to portray, what is your casting type, and where you are actually aiming these photos to be seen.
The aim of my sessions is to not put pressure on you to ‘perform’, as soon as someone feels they have to project something into the lens, thats when it all goes wrong. I’m guilty of it myself. I spent years staring down the lense as an actor thinking ‘come on, you know you want to cast me’, but to no avail, what resulted was a very wide eyed person looking blank! I want you relaxed and only then can we capture some LIFE in the image.
I pride myself on work of the highest standards and I am committed to providing all clients with a first class service that will be unique to you, and deliver the finest photographs tailored to your requirements.
