On Assignment – Nikki Owen

My first job this year, back in January, was a PR task with a brief that was to take some portraits of Nikki Owen, the UK’s leading Charisma expert. She needed some images that could be released to the press during an upcoming public relations promotional campaign. Nikki was about to gear up her public profile before the release of a reality TV show, in which she helps to take a group of women from the kitchen sink to the catwalk. With this in mind I set to work on location at the Shakespere’s Globe theatre on the South Bank of the River Thames in London and these are a selection the resulting images.

Nikki was kind enough to write the following testimonial.

“Having experienced many different photographers throughout my career, Lee Durant is absolutely at the top of his game. I wanted seriously creative and imaginative shots that were required in a venue that was tricky from a lighting perspective. Whilst working with Lee at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, he amazed me with his attention to detail, his brilliant ideas and suggestions and his genius with getting the lighting perfect. He is friendly, professional and inspiring to work with. I will continue to work with Lee again and again – in fact he has already received more work from me!”

We had a great day and the Shakespeare globe staff were brilliant and extremely accommodating, providing us with a great venue for portraits and at no time did they pressure us to move on. Caroline from Fosbury PR, as always was wonderful to work for. A whole days editing the images later and a total of over 90 Hi-Resolution images provided for I hope another happy client.
