A course by Phil Sharp
Phil Sharp is a London-based portrait photographer specializing in headshots for actors. He started experimenting with photography after borrowing a friend’s camera, and later went on to work at a family portrait studio, where he learned how to get the most out of his subjects. He lived in New York for a few years, where he captured street photography, before moving back to London in 2009 to work for a variety of commercial and editorial clients. Motivated by his fascination with the human experience, he turned to headshot photography, using his editorial skills to capture interesting shots that tell stories about his subjects.
Phil has won multiple awards, including the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize and the Portrait of Britain award. He has worked with clients including Evening Standard magazine, BBC iPlayer, and The British Journal of Photography.
He also shares his photography with over 30K followers on Instagram.
