(Note: This is a post I wanted to make months ago but my blog wasn’t really up to par. So I saved it for now…)
Imogen Heap is one of my all-time favorite artists. She’s one of the few people that fits the word “Genius”. I think that word is way overused these days but not in Imogen’s case. Getting to witness her work in her home studio was truly like watching a master at work. She writes, records, produces, sings, mixes, you name it. It’s all her. Not many artists that I know wear all those hats these days, especially with such incredible results.
I’ve now photographed her 4 times… Nashville, 2 Days in LA and one day in London at her house. Below is a mix of some of my favorite images from these shoots. There’s tons more. I’m pretty sure I have a coffee table book’s worth. I love working with Imogen cause we’ve developed a great friendship. I feel like 2 kids exploring the world together. She’s often drawn to the same textures and light that I am. We spent a day just walking around LA together as she shopped. I had my camera along for the ride… literally. The 4th image below is in the car as we were on our way to another store. Several others were caught right outside a store or in an alleyway. No matter where we are or what kind of setup is involved, we always seem to find something interesting together.
This is an extreme Macro photo of Imogen’s eyeball…

Remember the days when you use to put your favorite band/artist posters on your wall?? Well I would love a framed shot of Imogen on my wall. Certainly would add some life to my room. Keep up the great work!

If anyone has the chance to see her live I HIGHLY recommend doing so, you get to hear and see the creation of her songs as she exhibits her geniusness .
