Artist Blog: Simon Procter

(posted in May from saved draft)

Raised as a child in a small village in the North of England, Simon Procter is now a successful advertising and Fine Art photographer with clients including Nokia, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger and Marriot Hotels.

While living in Paris, Procter took a variety of odd jobs and serendipitously met James Kaliardos, a member of New York Visionaire. His first fashion image and job came from shooting dangerously 100 feet above a Dior fashion show. His career took off from there and the reputable Jet Root talent Agency in New York quickly picked him up.

I love Procter's use of color! While browsing his protfolio, that's the biggest thing that stuck out at me. I've been experimenting so much with color in post-production for this semester's series, and I love to see such crisp and exciting tones.
