Nicholas Dawkes is one of London’s best and most in-demand headshot photographers and is probably the photographer who is influencing my work the most right now. Our conversation is quite wide ranging covering Nic’s background as an actor, how he fell into headshot photography during a Shakespeare rehearsal, we go in depth on a couple of headshot sessions as well as covering influences, lighting styles, equipment and so much more. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Nicholas Dawkes… Show Notes: Thank you to our sponsor, MPB.
