This is the date where for the first time one of my photographs will be used in a commercial venture. I use the term ‘commercial’ loosely as I will certainly not be rushing to give up the day job! That being said I do feel proud that one of my photographs will be gracing the cover of a classical music eSingle, (digital download on iTunes to you and me), by the extraordinarily talented 17 year old cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. I was lucky enough to be able to photograph Sheku at a concert arranged by my partner in October 2016. This concert took place not long after Sheku had won the BBC Young Musician 2016, the first black winner of this competition in it’s 38 year history. I hope I get many more opportunities to document Sheku throughout his career .

"Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts."
Walker Evans
