About Me

Simon Stanmore: London, United Kingdom; As a boy I drew or painted practically every day: 'story' pictures as youngster, meticulous life studies as a teen. At 11 I got hooked for a few weeks on drawing Churchill's portrait using Karsh's photo as reference. I remember thinking back then that photography was 'cheating'. I told my art teacher this when I was 13. She laughed.
I didn't use photography until my 20's. I'd picked up a book of iconic 20th century photographs and the love affair had begun. It soon led to the break-up of my marriage to a career in B2B sales & marketing.
For the first 5 years as a professional I worked with corporate portraiture and interiors for both the commercial and editorial sectors. I developed a great client base and shot at locations across 3 continents. Making these clients happy has always been satisfying, but the photos I created for them were not my own. Not really.
So I've now come full-circle, returning to pictures of striking people in telling locations, with an occasional dash of personal invention to flavour our reality. It's just like being a kid again.
