Foto 032 - Phil Sharp
Monday, 3 November, 2025
Michael talks with North London–based photographer Phil Sharp about transforming a studio session into a collaborative experience. Phil traces his path from assisting and high-street portrait studios to scrappy New York musician shoots, then back to London, where actor headshots became a place to make pictures that feel alive. He breaks down his sessions, featuring natural light, bold colors, and playing music, so the sitter can stop overthinking. He also explains why he works until the image is genuinely there. They dig into trust, vulnerability, and why “do nothing” can be the most human direction of all.🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS* 🌐 philsharp-photo.com* 📸 Instagram: @philsharp* 📸 Foto: @philsharpThank you to our sponsor State Film Lab!
