Julian Love is a commercial photographer based in Dalston, who specialises in people and lifestyle photography. His latest project Handmade-London brings together some of London’s most interesting crafts people and independent makers. Photographed in their studios and workshops, the subjects include James from Kennedy City Bikes (who, along with his girlfriend, Florence from Petalon Flowers was part of our pop up shop) smokery owner, Ole Hansen of Hansen & Lydersen, Jessica de Lotz of Jessica de Lotz Jewellery and Rob Court of bespoke neon lighting company, Creative Neon.
The personal project, which Love finished shooting in October, has been made into a limited edition letterpress book featuring 14 people from the series, which is designed and illustrated by Helen Mair, with letterpress and hand-stitching by Simon Goode of the London Centre for Book Arts, who also features inside the book.
I discovered your site this morning. After reading your post for today, I want to let you know that I will
be reading/looking at past posts.
I have a deep fascination for artisinal work spaces – something about the tools, light and marriage of creativity and practicality that makes it really special. Will be looking out for this book -thanks for the tip.
