Nick Forbes (Labour Councillor) – Newcastle Portrait Photography
Newcastle Portrait Photography
Nick Forbes is the Labour leader for Newcastle City Council (http://www.nickforbes.org.uk/home) and enquired about my Newcastle Portrait Photography packages with the idea of taking some relaxed ‘lifestyle’ portraits for him recently. He’s a really nice guy and we had a lot of fun on the shoot at Ryton Willows, using the surroundings to great effect and catching Nick in an informal way that is probably a little alien to him, with press photographers usually shooting more formal images for use in the local papers or press releases about Newcastle City Council.
You could tell that despite being used to the more serious side of shoots he was actually great at posing for Newcastle Portrait Photography and we had a lot of fun doing the informal and relaxed images at what it one of my favorite places to shoot, partly because it’s on my door step so I know it really well and know all the good spots to use, but also because it matched the style of image that Nick was looking for.
I enjoyed Nick’s company on the shoot and I hope that in the future we can do another shoot together, maybe informal again like here or more formal for use on his website or for the council, either way I’d be happy to work with such a natural in front of the lens as Nick again.
