The-Latest welcomes Marlon Ruddock to its series on creative and inspiring photographers who have agreed to share their images with us for your enjoyment. Marlon is our eighth Featured Photographer.
Marlon is a London based photographer with a passion for capturing images that convey the emotion behind the event. He started out as a Graphic Designer graduating from university with a First in Design. He says that he has always had an interest in photography and has been creating photographic images for the past 10 years and shooting semi- professionally over the last 24 months.
Three years ago he returned from two years of working in both
Japan and Hong Kong. Marlon says: "Japan's landscape and culture has always captivated my imagination, and living there enabled me to grow both as a person, as a photographer and designer. This experience has taught me how to adapt quickly to different work environments and styles, and to absorb both the classical and the contemporary aesthetics in everything around me."
Marlon has developed an unobtrusive documentary style of photography, allowing events to unfold in front of me whilst taking pictures that tell the overall story.
He adds: "I aim to provide one very simple thing, photographs taken to meet the personal needs of clients at extremely reasonable and competitive rates. I offer a professional photography service from the initial meeting to discuss individual requirements, through to the delivery of the finished images."
