On my travels as a Celebrity photographer in London who did I photograph the most often over the years in this role? We have 11 Female Celebrities in this list in no particular order, right from the new girls on the block and not so famous right up to the most well known and A listers. I photographed them all and to be honest i was more interested in the up and coming stars and getting intimate shots of them in their early days, then if they did "blow up" as they say in the trade, you have some often unique and compelling shots of female stars in their early day.s
Requirements to be on this list? This is not a list of the most beautiful female celebrities I have photographed! The only requirement to be on this list is that they had to be photographed on at least 4 separate occasions at different locations or events. Some brief information on what were they like to photograph and what event or location were they photographed at with an ultra short bio on what these female stars actually do and what they are all about.
Abbey Clancy Pride of Britain Awards, London. currently this photo appears as the main photo on the frankjohn.com main index page. No plans to change her as of yet
Abbey Clancy
- English Model and TV Personality
- Where Photographed:
- LFW Victoria House and Somerset House, Cosmo Awards, Pride of Britain Awards
- What's she like to photograph?
- Being a model she is easy to work with, she knows what you are after and gives it to you....that's if you know what you are doing. Comes across as easy going and never had any problems with taking photos of her. Plenty of eye contact and this in multiple situations and locations. Needs a little bit of coaxing to get the most out of her and as a model she is probably used to that.
PHOTO; Rita Ora British Fashion Awards, Covent Garden, London
Rita Ora
- British singer-songwriter, television personality, and actress.
- Where Photographed:
- Glamour Women of the Year Awards, British Fashion Awards, Westfield (Video performing Live), BBC Radio 1 x 2, BAFTA Awards
- What's she like to Photograph?
- We used to call her "a trooper" meaning she knew what the celebrity photograpers were after, sometimes you may have to work at it but she knew the poses and there was no messing around. One of the more colourful personalities and reflected in the way she dresses, have manged to get some cracking photos of Rita and she is an A lister and these tend to be harder to get. She remembers a face as well.
PHOTO: Fearne Cotton leaving BBC Radio 1, Central London
Fearne Cotton
- English TV Presenter and Radio Broadcaster and Author
- Where photographed:
- Radio 1 multiple times arriving and departing, Glamour Women of the Year Awards x 2, Cosmo Awards
- What's she like to Photograph? Another trooper just like Rita, lost count of how many times I photographed her outside Radio 1 and at other events. She is very down to earth but every photographer says about Fearne she is very fast and tough one to get in motion. She is like a rocket. A woman of many moods and some celebrity photographers photographed her on a daily basis at Radio 1 as she arrived normally before 9am and when she left after 1pm. I normally got her when some other music stars were doing the live lounge with her. Two for the price of 1 as they say.
PHOTO: Ellie Goulding Glamour Women of the Year Awards, Mayfair, London
Ellie Goulding
- English Singer,Songwriter and Activist
- Where Photographed:
- Radio 1 x 2, Glamour Women of the Year Awards, LFW
- What's she like to photograph?
- She is an A lister and is very approachable. I find she is either full on with direct eye contact or she can be a bit evasive with all the photographers with regard to eye contact. Comes across as one of those quiet but determined types. Again she knows what the photographers want, sometimes you will get her, other times not...you just have to make sure you are on her radar.
PHOTO: Tulisa Contostavlos Sony Radio Academy Music Awards, Park Lane, London
Tulisa Contostavlos
- English, singer, songwriter, rapper, and television personality
- Where Photographed:
- Pride of Britain Awards, Cosmo Awards x 2, Sony Radio Academy Awards,
- What's she like to photograph?
- I found her a bit elusive and hard work and a bit of a dark horse. I think her waters run deep but if you get full on eye contact it's like nothing else. The photo above I took a number of her but she didn't seem that interested in my camera on that night. Another night she was full on with myself and didn't budge. Just the way it goes with this one. She was launched into stardom after getting the UK X Factor judge job and was hot stuff for about a year or so.
PHOTO: Elle Eyre
Ella Eyre
- English Singer & songwriter
- Where Photographed?
- LFW x 3, Q Awards, British Fashion Awards, Cosmo Awards
- What's she like to Photograph?
- She was the new girl on the block in Celebrity terms at the time and they tend to be less hard work. She seemed to like me and my camera, quite a few full head on intense eye contact ort of shots, sometimes she would tease with the eye contact and one to the left and one to the right just like the photo above. I think she remembers photographers faces this one and no fun and games just like Rita Ora....she is there to help. Clothing choices all over the shop from sports gear/baseball outfit at LFW to full on red carpet dresses to shades in between. A touch of the exotic and amazing hair. She is a sharer rather than the boyfriend syndrome obsessing over one photographer so you have a good chance of getting eye contact in your photos.
PHOTO: Nicole Scherzinger Langham Hotel, London
Nicole Scherzinger
- American singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and television personality
- Where Photographed:
- BBC Centre, Langham Hotel, Pride of Britain Awards, British Fashion Awards,
- What's she like to Photograph?
- An A Lister and she plays the game and I would say another Trooper. Very obliging with being photographed but I think again a woman of many moods and her waters run deep. I have her looking serious, playful, having a laugh, candid shots and of course the classic full on hand on hip poses. Treat her with respect and you know what you are doing she will give you the shot and the looks can be very intense just like Tulisa. Get things wrong and you are left out in the cold just picking up the scraps. That's the way she is...... a typical A Lister. She has oodles of style and she knows it.
Myleene Klass Sony Radio Academy Music Awards, London
Myleene Klass
- British musician, singer, television presenter and model
- Where photographed:
- Cosmo Awards, Sony Radio Academy Music Awards, Classic Brit Awards, Glamour Women of the Year Awards, Pride of Britain Awards
- What's she like to Photograph?
- Found her a bit deep this one and hard to fathom out with a touch of elusiveness. Tends to be serious from my experience more often than not with glimmers of smiles, but I do have photos of her laughing her head off. She is a sharer with the eye contact but shares it where it will probably end up somewhere important and you get the feeling she knows. Not one to be forced into doing what she doesn't want to do but responds to compliments and "lets you in" so to speak. Sometimes easy to photograph other times quite difficult.. Not much to add really but I have numerous photos of her and she is a looker and she knows it.
Kelly Brook Cosmo Awards, Mayfair, Central London
Kelly Brook
- English model, actress, and media personality
- Where Photographed:
- ITV Studios, Glamour Women of the Year Awards, BBC Radio 2, Cosmo Awards
- What's she like to Photograph?
- I would say she is all over the shop this one. She can be elusive, she can be a sharer with the eye contact or she can go into boyfriend syndrome mode and if you are that photographer getting the eye contact great, if not..... you are out in the cold. Has extensive experience of being photographed as she is a model. Knows the poses, knows how to show off her best bits but she can be fast and therefore you have to be nimble with your camera. Watch the video of her arriving at BBC Radio 2, and see her in action. She looks at me for just a nano second...that's what she is like. At the ITV studios she was walking towards me as I was walking backwards...the full on stare so the "boyfriend syndrome" in action. A mixed bag and you just have to work with that. You try to force things from experience she will not respond, she is running the show.
Paloma Faith Nordoff Robbins awards, Park Lane Hilton, London
Paloma Faith
- English singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality.
- Where photographed:
- Glamour Women of the Year Awards x 2, Nordoff Robbins Awards, LFW
- What's she like to Photograph?
- For me I think one of the easiest celebrities to photograph on this list. Seemed to like myself, very obliging with close up work such as the photo above. Very snappy and dramatic dresser. Looks good with hats and certainly suited to celebrity portraits. Distinctive looking and slightly quirky, she scrubs up well in front of the camera. Never had any problems at all. Her signature pose is the double hands on hip as shown here. Another trooper as we say in the trade. She knows the score and makes your job as easy as possible.
Laura Whitmore The Expendables Premier, Leicester Square, London
Laura Whitmore
- Irish media personality, model and actress
- Where Photographed:?
- Film Premier Leicester Square, Awards Park Lane x 2, Pride of Britain Awards, LFW, Awards
- What's she like to Photograph?
- Cards on the table, photographed her many times but just didn't gel with this one. She just wasn't interested in my direction, camera most of the time?. That's life, no rapport very few shots with anything resembling eye contact.. With the right photographer she shines very brightly, is very attractive and has good dress sense but I never rreally managed to get the best out of this one and on many occassions. You can't win them all!
