Corporate Portrait Photography: Natasha Kaplinsky
Natasha Kaplinsky Channel Five Newsreader
Ok so this isn’t a new image, in fact it’s part of a series of images I took a couple of years ago when Natasha was still with the BBC. They say newsreaders are just ‘hair and teeth’ but I would be inclined to say ‘hair, teeth and EYES’. The greatest thing about Natasha is her intelligence, it shines in her eyes, giving them, and her, immense life and personality.
It’s a curious thing that many people assume models are stupid, but the truth is that without wit and life in their eyes people just don’t sparkle. One of the benefits of being a Corporate Portrait Photographer is that (nearly) all of my subjects have a fair degree of intelligence too - they’re halfway to a good image before I take out my camera.
One little gripe I do have - before adding this image to my blog I did a quick trawl round Google Images to see what other images of Natasha were out there and I found a copy of this one linked to someone’s blog - and no credit or link to me, or my website, for the use of my image either - I thought that was simple web courtesy - if you steal/borrow an image give a credit.
I’ll put a new page of my set of Natasha Kaplinsky images on my website soon, so you can see what a great subject she is. Almost an ideal subject. I’ll add the link ASAP.
I look forward to hearing your comments on this corporate portrait image.
Oh, my God!
