Baroness Rona Fairhead CBE — UK Government Portrait Commission

October 20, 2017 in Political Portraiture, Editorial

I was commissioned by the UK Government to create an official portrait sitting with Baroness Rona Fairhead CBE, one of Britain’s most accomplished business leaders and public servants. As Minister of State for Trade and Export Promotion at the Department for International Trade, Baroness Fairhead played a vital role in shaping the UK’s global commercial strategy, following a distinguished career across media, finance, and international business.

Sir John Major Portrait Sitting

July 21, 2017 in Political Portraiture, Prime Minister, World Leaders

In 2016, I reached out to Sir John to request a sitting. We initially planned to photograph in Autumn of that year, but the seismic events of Brexit—where Sir John played a prominent role as a vocal Remain campaigner—delayed the session. It wasn’t until July 2018 that our schedules aligned and the portrait could finally take place in London.
