Working comfortably either with commissions or personal work Louis’ approach to documentary photography has brought him considerable exposure with the national press.  For example the quirky commission “Back stage with Wallace and Gromit” was published as a cover feature in The Saturday Telegraph, The Sunday Herald, as well as Stern magazine in Germany. This is typical of his editorial client list where Louis is particularly well established: read below for a full list.

Originally Louis studied on an ideas based illustration course in Brighton; graduating in 1992 he transferred over to photography towards the end because in his words” he found the communication process more direct”. There is thoughtfulness to his work, which he attributes to the course, which can be seen, particularly, in some of his personal projects. His UK swingers project for example shuns the obvious graphic nature of the topic and focuses more on the people and bedroom fashion.

He often works in medium format (although not exclusively) for his personal projects concentrating on nuance and the subtlety that the larger format allows. He finds this style translates well for the advertising market: especially commissions where the client is interested in a combination of real life sensibility and clever communication.

With his experience in, personal, project based work Louis is interested translating this to the commercial arena and would look favourably on long- term theme based commissions.

His experience in environmental portraiture has also proved useful gaining him commissions photographing celebrities, in a wide variety of magazines, (see list below). It no surprise then he has been exhibited on two separate occasions at the Schweppes Awards at the National Portrait Gallery.
