Connor Daly

Photographer

Bournemouth, United Kingdom
Currently, I am freelance assisting photographers around London. As I feel this a good starting point to build contacts and make relationships in the industry.

Work experience in studios and on location is essential for me as I see myself working in studios and locations for many years to come.

I currently assist photographer Leoni Blue regularly as we have a great working relationship and she is a guest speaker at my university.

I am fascinated with Modernist architecture, especially the styles of the Bauhaus and Art Deco movement, the simplistic design and use of primary colours against bleak almost flat surfaces and shapes really attracts me to this style and compisition.

I am currently photographing minimalist spaces and architectural structures as this is where my interests lie.
