I’ve been very lucky in January – I ran into Timothy Block the day after meeting Rakia. Tim and I had a chat and I took a couple of shots. This is the second portrait and my favourite. Thanks very much Tim!
Tim is an actor and film maker.

One of the great things about 2020 so far is I seem to have rekindled my interest in photographing people. An even greater thing is that I ran into Rakia yesterday.
We made 8-10 shots together around London Bridge and these are my favourites…
The photographs work as well in colour as they do in black and white. But I tend to favour the monochrome.

Thanks very much Rakia!

– Street Portrait (for and of Jenna), 2016 –
It’s been a while since I last took a street portrait. The project, which has been going since 2012, seemed to have ground to a halt…and then I spotted Jenna. And she was great about me taking a few shots. This is the first of four shots and is my favourite. Thanks very much Jenna!

If you are interested in seeing more of my work, I have a new website: https://richardguest.art/ , which includes a print of the month (this month it’s the turn of Into The Light from 2014, which was taken on Hungerford Bridge, London, UK).
Works in progress, street portraits and sneak peeks of finished paintings are all featured on my Instagram feed. I update the feed three times a week, and you can find it here.

– Street Portrait (for and of Paul Smith), 2017 –
Paul Smith is one of my favourite designers – I’ve been wearing his shirts and jeans for decades and got married in a Paul Smith suit. So, it was fantastic to run into him in Covent Garden, and he was great about me taking a few shots. This is the first and is my favourite. Thanks very much, Paul! Hope you like your picture.

– Street Portrait (for and of Stephen Dunn), 2016 –
This is my friend Stephen Dunn. So again this isn’t strictly speaking a street portrait in the sense I usually take them, but it’s my favourite of all the shots I’ve taken of Stephen (and I’ve taken a lot – I think Stephen’s the most photographed person on this blog), and it was taken in the street so…
Thanks for letting me take this Stephen. Hope you like your picture.
