My name is Sean Bass, I have been passionate about photography since the tender age of 14 before finally living my dream and taking my lifetime hobby to professional level.
I am currently studying a BA Honours degree in Fine Art and Photography to hopefully gain more techniques to add to my already varied styles.
I am located in a Mawsley a small village situated in Northamptonshire, and I specialise in Portraiture but also like to create Fine Art. The majority of my work is shot outside using natural surroundings and light.
My Father lives a few miles away in a neighbouring town from which he opens his gardens to the "British National Garden Scheme" which is rich in impressive architecture and areas of incredible natural Beauty to which I like to make these part of my art, however , I also offer a top quality indoor setup.
My aim is to capture a wide range of expressions from all my subjects, regardless of age, From contemplative to joyful, from silly to angelic, Everything that makes up those that you know, love and want to immortalise in your professional portraits.
Although some Photographers still prefer to use film, Many Top Photographers have converted to High end Digital equipment , Instead of using the lab, I have a full-time art director/retoucher in my studio, Digital has made imagery faster and more controllable. I myself believe Digital takes the images a step further allowing the artist to manipulate thus making the image more pleasing to the eye.
I aim to be a technical perfectionist and I like to experiment with various digital imaging techniques to my repertoire, However, I do continue to place the main emphasis when creating my work of maximizing the traditional skills manual camera photography and real world lighting.
Through this exquisite capturing of light , form, surface, colour and space I aim to expose the beauty of the model/s whilst offering new surreal narratives and playful juxtapositions.
Before the final artwork is delivered I will have an opportunity to edit the photographs this making sure that the client is always 100% happy with the final piece.
The well known artists who give me a lot of my passion and inpiration
These Artists simply use an image capturing device instead of a brush or pencil
Hopefully one day these artists will admire my creations in the same way in which I admire theirs.

Portrait photography or portraiture is the capture by means of photography of the likeness of a person or a small group of people (a group portrait), in which the face and expression is predominant. The objective is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photograph is the person's face, although the entire body and the background may be included. A portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the camera. Unlike many other photography styles, the subjects of portrait photography are often non-professional models. Family portraits commemorating special occasions, such as graduations or weddings, may be professionally produced or may be vernacular and are most often intended for private viewing rather than for public exhibition.
