Part of what I love about being a portrait photographer is the variety of shoots and personalities I get to know. I was talking to my music teacher this morning (Tom Horton http://www.tomhorton.co.uk/) and mention of aspiring musicians - Not that Tom is aspiring, he has definitely arrived! - reminded me of a number of shoots I have done over the past year or so. Having a musical instrument to work around adds a dimension to the shoot and I do enjoy trying out slightly different ideas.
