Peter Wynne portraits

We had a fun photoshoot with Peter Wynne for a 'my life' editorial piece in AAH magazine  

Peter was a British teen idol of the 60s and had a few hits including Chapel of Dreams, I'm a Fool To Want You, I Need You Close Again, The Wall and more..

Peter has has toured with the likes of Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Marty Wilde, Shirley Bassey and Billy Fury to name a few.

I photographed Peter with a Phase One medium format camera and digital back and used a Schneider 150mm blue ring lens. The full size image holds incredible detail and Peter is a great subject to demonstrate this. As a portrait photographer, decisions  have to be made regarding lighting, background and composition on location so after my initial dismay of the bright orange sheeny curtains in the house, I decided to then roll with it! I feel this has an almost stage like presence to the portrait. Thanks for looking!
