“Peter Kingston’s work is full of memory and
humour… Peter was initially reluctant to sit for a
portrait, and a meeting with him revealed an
eccentric and generous man…
My instinct is to make the sitter the hero of the
image with a plain or subtle background. With
Peter’s portrait, the complexity of his studio felt like
it complemented the subject. This is also one of the
only portraits I have made with available light.”
