first professional commission was as a second camera at the dress rehearsal of Hamlet at Birmingham Rep when I was still at college. My Father, Willoughby GUS Gullachsen was a theatre and TV photographer and I assisted him on a few occasions, he photographed the great and the very great Actors and performers and I like to think I learned from a master especially when it came to dress rehearsals and getting material turned around so it would be up for opening night and the Press reviews. I went onto shoot advertising and traveled the world, but often I had the pleasure of working with actors especially when shooting campaigns that used talent on film & print. In recent years my practice has included using actors for my Advertising and brand commissions, producing projects that include many thespians .

I always relish a portrait session with an actor, you know they shall bring magic to a session and hopefully they too enjoy the process -
