Chiswick Portrait Photographer – Chiswick Park
As a Chiswick portrait photographer I have a real fondness for Chiswick Park…
So when Sarah called me recently saying that her 18 year old son, Alejandro, was about to leave home to go to university and that she would like some nice, natural pictures of him before he headed off, I thought of just the place.
After having put her off a studio/home type shoot given the circumstances, I suggested Chiswick Park as I thought it would lend itself to a far more natural and relaxed session which would come through in the pictures. While Sarah went off to get us all a coffee, I took the opportunity to express to Alejandro how important this was to his mum and that if he could give it his best shot then I’d promise to keep things as short as possible! Thankfully, Alejandro was a complete star and really put in a 100% – I remember what I was like at 18 and I honestly don’t think I would have had his maturity.
So, after only a couple of hours it was job done and I was really thrilled with the results, mainly because I knew how poignant these pictures were and how much they meant to Sarah. I was even more pleased when she told me she couldn’t choose her favourite ten shots so instead would like to buy every picture!
Here is a selection of my favourite shots from this memorable portrait session in Chiswick Park…
