Portraits
I’ve just spent the afternoon putting together a pdf of some of my best studio portraits. So I thought I’d put a slightly shortened preview up here.
Scarring
A bit of a strange request but I am looking for somebody living in London with facial tribal scarring or beautification scars for a portrait commision I am working on.

Any help would be amazing - contact@spencermurphy.co.uk

Laurie had a serious BMX accident and as a result had to go through some pretty intense facial surgery. The day after I took this photo he went to Brixton Skate Park and broke his foot.

Maasai, Matalan and KFC
I recently found out about a tribe of Maasai living in Swindon and travelling around the UK teaching in schools and putting on events. I managed to persuade them to come to my little studio in Dalston to get their portraits taken.
