Where there's a Mill there's a way... to photograph

Whenever I’m asked to photograph people in their working environment, my first lighting preference is to use any available light the location offers. I believe this approach to lighting results in a far more natural feel to the image. The portrait posted here is a great example of why such an approach to lighting works well. It’s a shot of Sunil Shah, CEO of life science-enabling business o2h, based at the historic Hauxton water Mill. His plan is to transform the mill into the o2h SciTech Park to nurture life science, technology and social enterprise. By making the most of the soft available daylight, I was able to create a simple, atmospheric, yet striking portrait of Sunil.
