This is the 60th year these awards have been held. Headline picture of the day for me is Shaznay Lewis and Nicole Appleton of All Saints. One of my all time favourite girl bands.

Info Courtesy Wikipedia This photo was taken in the very very early days of my Celebrity Photography career.

  Suki Waterhouse Suki Waterhouse is Part 11 of the Beautiful Female Celebrities Collection series. This could quite easily renamed to something much shorter such as the tag that is used on this website for this category of blog post and that is " stunners " and yes she is one ......hence why she is here as Part 11. Background Cards on the table and hands in the air I have had limited dealings with this female star, she was starting to blow up during my time in my latter years of being a celebrity photographer going under the category of "musician, actress and model". and achieving great success in all three which is quite a rarity. Her modelling breakthrough came around 2012–2014 when she became a recognisable face in fashion where she worked with big brands like Burberry and appeared in major magazines. This is when she first became widely known, started coming under my radar and was increasingly in the public eye. She is a London girl born and bred from Hammer...

  Amanda Seyfried What is a bad day like as a Celebrity Event Photographer? or The Dream of being a Celebrity Event Photographer v The Reality. Could write a book on this...lets just say It's not all big paychecks and laughing yourself to sleep at night. The first five posts on this blog feature technically great, glamorous, full on eye contact and attention from the star and the sort of shots where everything has gone to plan. Everybody thinks well this looks an easy and glamorous job. BUT what happens when things don't go to plan and you are having one of those nights or worst still days and everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. For every 10/10 shot there are a number of not so great or photo disasters. Some days every female star seems to be eating out of the palm of your hand...others it's just not happening and you are scratching your head wondering why? Featured photo above Amanda Seyfried close up at a Film Premier. She is there, she is smiling BUT the killer...

  In the realm of celebrity photography, the combination of a beautiful natural smile and captivating eye contact plays a crucial role in shaping public perception and engagement. These elements not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of an image but also evoke emotions and create connections with audiences. As celebrities become brands in their own right, the authenticity conveyed through genuine expressions can significantly influence their popularity and relate ability.
