Model: Jodi Lakin “One of my favourite parts of photography is creating magic in the most ordinary of places,” says Adam
Hey Adam. Where in the world are you and what are you currently working on? I’m from a small town in the West Midlands part of the UK, and I’m currently preparing for wedding season as well as working on a Harry Potter photo series.
Tell us about your journey in photography. What made you start shooting professionally?
I’d say that I started taking photography seriously as a teenager. There wasn’t an option to study photography at school, so instead, I would spend hours watching tutorials online and practising doing mini-shoots with my twin sister. I would then share the images online and managed to gain a small following. That led to enquiries and paid jobs, which made me realise I could make a career out of it.
How would you describe your images and photographic style to somebody who has never seen them?
I’d describe my photography style as surreal, whimsical and dreamy.
What was your first camera, and what kit do you shoot with now?
