Phillip Gibbs - that Tall Photographer
I am 6'6" tall, and forever doomed to be known as "That Tall Photographer" (if you can't beat 'em...) It has its advantages, like always being able to see the band at a concert, or never having to worry about reaching that old set of scales down from on top of the kitchen units.
Until recently I was a bit of a wondering spirit, galavanting off around the world, doing most of my travelling whilst working aboard international cruise ships... no tax, glamourous destinations, endless parties... I've given it up for all that Lancaster has to offer, in particular my loving, talented boyfriend Matthew.
My love affair with photography began printing in a chemist, a long story later I found myself leading a team of photographers onboard a floating hotel!
I loved the variety of work I did when I was the photography department manager. I was fortunate enough to photograph celebrities such as Jack Charlton, Iris Williams, Prunella Scales, Gary Rhodes and more. I was also lucky enough to amass an extensive travel portfolio featuring destinations the world over. It was a hard life...
Since becoming a land-luber again I've been working my socks off for my own business. I shoot dozens of Weddings and Portrait Sessions every year, as well as accepting commerical work for local and national businesses. I also teach evening classes at the Adult College in Lancaster, spreading the gospel of good photographic technique!
My approach is friendly, smilely, informal and creative.
