For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved the movies. 

And while there’s nothing more exciting than watching a new movie unfold, I love the act of re-watching a film –rediscovering them over and over again. That’s the really beautiful thing about the movies – while everything around them changes, they stay the same. And you can revisit them again and again, like comfort food. After a while, you look at those films and you realise it’s specific moments that stand out. It could be a scene, it could be a line – hell, it could be just be a single closeup of someone’s face.  A twinkle in their eyes, their lips forming a smile, a strand of hair falling across their face – anything.

This is why I’ve created Moving Portraits. It’s a way to cherish people the way we do the movies. It’s a way of capturing the essence of someone far beyond the ability of a photograph.

The power of a moving portrait, the thing that I believe will set it apart from anything else is that it combines the best of photography and cinematography. The beauty of a photograph is that it can freeze a moment in time. The beauty of a film is that it can keep a moment alive. Whereas a photograph is still, a Moving Portrait is a living, breathing reminder of the subject.
