Smoking. Femme fatale, film noir style. Low-key portraits are my all time favourite thing. This image forms part of my project about smoking. I have asked everyone I have photographed for permission first. I felt it was important to be honest, up front and to respect people. I think it is still possible to get a pure image even though I have made myself known to the subject. This was taken at Newcastle Quayside.
Very dramatic, great use of the light. Although I’m a none smoker I like this project it looks like its got great potential. I intrigued by the idea of asking the subjects permission to take the photo, then get them to pose. I’ll look forward to see how this develops.
I love this one Anita – one of my favourites of yours. I love the strong vignetting as it gives us a real sense of intensity in the shot – it really draws us in as the viewer. The crowning point though has to be the lighting on her face – perfection. Such a beautiful girl too – you have achieved everything you needed too here.
Super light. I like the classicism of this image and it is a wonderfully strong portrait. I wish I had done a similar project with the old boys in pubs and clubs with their pipes, cigars and ciggies before it was banned in the UK

Femme fatale it is. Strong. The light is great. Fantastic.
This is the sort of appealing image that made me a member of the faggarazzi. Oh the power of advertising and the curse. COPD in my case!
Stunning
Fantastic capture!!!
Really good lighting & looks great in B & W
