Style it up on the streets

Tasha Hylton gets creative with portraits, poses and locations, and explains how you can style up your own fashion shoots for a distinctive vibe

Working mostly in portrait, fashion and lifestyle photography, I am a self-taught freelance photographer. I work with both digital and 35mm film formats to add some variety to my work, but 35mm film is my favourite of the two: I enjoy the stillness and patience of 35mm, as well as the character it adds to the pictures. My work is more focused on people and things around me, but I am eager to do more fashion‑related work. I am still becoming established in Bristol, so my time is spent between paid and personal work. If I have an idea, then I see who can add to that idea and work from there, along with enjoying going on wanders and documenting days out through images. ‘London Wonders’ and ‘Home Comfort’ are two series on my website that are really close to me. I am learning new things daily, and always want to progress with my craft. After the last year of being able to think about things in more depth, I know I want to work on more editorial styles on location, as well as doing more visual storytelling work.
