PEOPLE PORTFOLIO

Award-winning portrait photographer, Paul Wilkinson, continues to set the standard says Jim Sherwood.

This year my daughter celebrated her 21st Birthday. It was a significant moment in her life and ours. It needed to be celebrated. Yes she received a special item of jewellery and yes, she had a party, but for me, I wanted to really capture this ‘coming of age’ moment in time. After a brief discussion with my wife, we both agreed that a photographic portrait was required. And after an even briefer discussion, we new exactly who we wanted to capture this milestone in my girls life. Paul Wilkinson.

What Paul doesn’t know about portrait photography you can put on a pin head. In fact he’s written the book on the subject, literally.

Mastering Portrait Photography is it (co-written with Sarah Plater). A marriage of method and artistry, Mastering Portrait Photography not only includes some of Paul’s finest portraits but also a whole range of insightful tips and practical advice on how to achieve fantastic portraits of your own.
