Gavin Williamson CBE MP is a prominent British Conservative politician, first elected as the Member of Parliament for South Staffordshire in 2010. At the time of this sitting, he was serving as Secretary of State for Education and required a contemporary set of portraits that reflected an approachable, professional, and forward-looking image ahead of the General Election.
Political portraiture has been a significant part of my career—encompassing local councillors, MPs, members of the House of Lords, and several former Prime Ministers. Each commission demands an understanding of character, public responsibility, and the visual language of leadership.
Working between London, New York, and Los Angeles, my approach centres on precise direction and imaginative scenarios that encourage sitters to reveal something authentic. Whether photographing royalty, global political figures, Hollywood actors, or senior members of the armed forces, my aim remains consistent: to create thoughtful, natural, and distinctive portraits that speak to personality and purpose.
This session with Gavin Williamson was no exception—crafted to communicate clarity, confidence, and approachability in a single frame.
