Large Format Portrait of Jose Joao
As a boy Jose Maria Joao was kidnaped from his village in Angola by the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). He never saw his family again. He was given an AK-47 and told he was fighting against communism. Jose thinks this was the late 1970's. Realising he was being trained to kill people he ran away.
After years of walking, hiding, hitching and working odd jobs he made it 3 500 kilometres through Angola, Namibia and South Africa to Cape Town. Jose works as a bouncer at the very popular The Power and The Glory and is a personal trainer to boxers and mountain trail runners.
Despite his traumatic past he is one of the most optimistic people I've ever met.

Portrait Shoot with Lucy Heavens
Lucy Heavens has landed her own show with Titmouse (Big Mouth) and Disney.
Lucy has a timeless look and I wanted to shoot a portrait of her looking like the hero of a spy film set in the 1950's.
