Adam Ant
Author: Louise Haywood-Schiefer
For this weeks Time Out London I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a real life rock star. I was really excited yet a little nervous to meet him.
A habit I have of googling people before I shoot them unearthed a stirring trepidation as a lot has been written about this man, not all of it completely positive.
However, when he turned up, apologetic that the interview had overrun, I instantly felt at ease. He was a real dream to photograph. He just gets it. I guess image is a big thing for him, but he made it so easy for me. I would click the shutter and he would move into another great pose, click, move but then when I asked him to try things out he would do that too.
He was quiet but magnetic and I left the shoot even more excited than when I began.
Really lovely photos! Nicely done!
Hi Louise, these are just amazing, I have been a fan of Adam since my teens & you have captured him beautifully. I actually love them so much I was wondering if you might give me permission to draw one of them ? x
Thanks for the nice comments. As far as I’m concerned it’s no problem but officially Time Out own the copyright to the images. Thanks again
Wow. Gorgeous pictures AND subject.
I’ve seen these, plus others and they are fantastic.
He looks amazingly handsome in those photos. He is a combination of talented intelligent artistic charming gorgeaus all rolled into one. He is one in a billion. Looking forward for the October tour.
Well done! That first one in particular is absolutely brilliant. Oh you lucky girl getting to spend some time with this lovely man! I am going to see him perform in LA, September 2012 and I can hardly wait 🙂 🙂 🙂
btw – tweeting and FB-ing this
Great photos Louise 🙂
