Portrait of the Portraitist

Today, rather unexpectedly, I got to meet this fine gentleman for the first time. His name's Anthony Lavender and he's an absolutely fantastic portrait photographer with a particular line in portraits of people involved on the fetish scene.

Given that he's a very talented professional portraitist I was a little hesitant about asking whether I could take his picture but, happily, he was most obliging! And the kitchen at work was called into service as an ad hoc 'studio'!

You can see some of Tony's work, and read more about him, on his website... http://anthonylavender.com

UPDATE: Tony's website is now back up and running again! See comments below...

He's a fascinating chap. And a lovely one, too.
