(Note: This is a post I wanted to make months ago but my blog wasn’t really up to par. So I saved it for now…)

Imogen Heap is one of my all-time favorite artists. She’s one of the few people that fits the word “Genius”. I think that word is way overused these days but not in Imogen’s case. Getting to witness her work in her home studio was truly like watching a master at work. She writes, records, produces, sings, mixes, you name it. It’s all her. Not many artists that I know wear all those hats these days, especially with such incredible results.

I’ve now photographed her 4 times… Nashville, 2 Days in LA and one day in London at her house. Below is a mix of some of my favorite images from these shoots. There’s tons more. I’m pretty sure I have a coffee table book’s worth. I love working with Imogen cause we’ve developed a great friendship. I feel like 2 kids exploring the world together. She’s often drawn to the same textures and light that I am. We spent a day just walking around LA together as she shopped. I had my camera along for the ride… literally. The 4th image below is in the car as we were on our way to another store. Several others were caught right outside a store or in an alleyway. No matter where we are or what kind of setup is involved, we always seem to find something interesting together.

This is an extreme Macro photo of Imogen’s eyeball…

    I think you capture her genius with your photos. I love her music, and I can hear it when I look at these.

    Really love this. I have to say, with the launch of your new blog and seeing these photoshoots, I have to add you to my list of photog-crushes. These are great. I wish I had your eye for light and texture, these really speak to me.

    I fully agree on your description of Imogen and you portray her so well. Both you and her are brilliant in your own art form. If anyone has the chance to see her live I HIGHLY recommend doing so, you get to hear and see the creation of her songs as she exhibits her geniusness .

    They are fantastic photos!!! Imogen is a very unique, beautiful person and you have captured her beauty wonderfully! Remember the days when you use to put your favorite band/artist posters on your wall?? Well I would love a framed shot of Imogen on my wall. Certainly would add some life to my room. Keep up the great work!

    [...] some inspiration (certainly won’t be hard to get revved up by anything he’s done of Imogen Heap. Just click the pic to “open post” and “blow mind”). Holy crap I wish I was [...]
