Mario

I have known Mario since I was 16, so that is quite a while ago. Recently we re-connected and it is like we have never left one another’s lives. I wanted to capture him and this is our conversation.

Joe Smith

When I started photography Joe was my mentor and till this very day I still consider him so. When he asked me to shoot his portrait, I was nervous but also humbled. This is what came out. Thanks to Ian Abdilla for his assistance in the studio.

Katie

Katie is 8 and I met her a few years back when she was maybe 2, however I never photographed her before that. When he mum called me for a shoot, I did not know what to expect. But I love that about my work. I do not always need to have things planned out. I knew one thing, I wanted to portray this girl for the age she is. When I saw her walking towards me in her hippy tie dye pale blue dress, and her eyes met mine, this girl was not afraid to be her. She showed no shyness, no awkwardness, no fake smiles. She met my eyes steadily, so we drove into the countryside, I threw her in a field and my only instructions were, just play, run, jump….the rest is in the photos.

Family Abdilla: Ian Abdilla Photographer

Ian is a wedding photographer based in Malta and we are also partners in the studio that we are currently sharing. We work a lot together and one fine day we actually realised that non of us have any professional photos of ourselves. So we set out to do these photos, however Ian wanted a family shoot as well. He got his entourage: his wife Josanne, his eldest son Paolo, then his three girls Francesca, Laura and tiny Federica. There wasn't one moment of stillness and it was just like that that I did a family shoot for Ian full of fun, laughter and above all love!
