About Victoria

pinhole Emoji film Emoji digital 

I'm starting with the [wo]man in the mirrorSeeking to catch the emotional core of a subject in one still shot is a passion and a thrill for me.

If I’m taking your picture my first job is always to make sure that you are comfortable and relaxed to bring your personality to the forefront. I always shoot on location and adore the magical surprises that can come with harnessing natural light.

I also delve into the gorgeous art of pinhole photography which I am very happy to answer questions about. I built my camera from scratch and am very pleased with the high quality of images she produces.

 

Apart from my cameras, I also love: Snoopy, Simon & Garfunkel, Queen, Stephen King, Dory Previn, Egon Schiele, Aubrey Beardsley, Ray Bradbury, Man on Wire, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, cheese, dark chocolate, drinking milk, drinking cider, growing food, orange circles, patterns, fractals, plucking my guitar, folding origami tsurus.

I’m terrified of: heights, job interviews, flying, and spiders.

By day I’m a librarian at the glorious BFI.

I live in London.

Victoria is a great person to work with: before taking our wedding photographs we spent a lovely afternoon with her in Greenwich, so she could learn more about us and get to know our preferred style of photography. It was a great idea, and we have some fabulous photos from that afternoon, as well as our wedding pictures!

Nothing is too much trouble with Victoria and anything really is possible! She suggested some superb shots on our Big Day, the seeds of which had been sown on our afternoon in Greenwich with her, where she took a picture of my reflection in a mirror. It’s one of my favourites; a fantastic picture and a totally unique approach to photography that she has perfected.

Victoria has a great eye for detail and she spent a lot of time editing and getting our photos just right for us; but she also gave us a near-immediate preview of some of her preferred shots, leaving us in no doubt that we had a professional, unique, artist working for us!

Thank you Victoria.
