Exhibition: Seen Through A Glass Darkly
The idea that what we see is not what is really there is a haunting one. Have we misunderstood everything? Do we see what others see? In this exhibition I explore the mystery of the limits on our perception and the idea that perfect beauty exceeds our visual capacity. The book at the heart of […]
Harper’s Bazaar – Beauty in the Chaos
Words and picture by Fiona Campbell Hicks. Thank you to my beloved 2nd cousin by marriage, Sary, who was a Cambodian angel and hosted me when Raffles were overbooked, and guided me around the city. The amazing thing was that I didn’t know of her existence until I got to Cambodia!

So I promised you the full low down on the fantabulous Sarra’s shoot. I loved this shoot because Sarra was totally open to being creative and trying anything.

Sarra’s contemporary portrait shoot; a sneak preview
So what is contemporary portraiture? It is a bespoke service that aims to capture women as their true selves, only on an exceptionally fabulous, slim, beautiful day.

Congratulations to Kirsty and James, who got married in Dunrobin Castle. I can’t think of a more fabulous venue; a Versailles style castle on the Black Isle, on the seaside, with beautiful gardens. More images to follow…
The Wedding at the Savoy
A little while ago I was invited to a real treat; a wedding at the Savoy Hotel. Olympus have created a new camera, the OM-D EM-1, to rival Nikon and Canon, and they wanted me to give it a whirl, along with 10 or so other leading photographers. It was such fun to hang out […]
A taste of the Olympus Savoy wedding
Aren’t these two just adorable? What I love about this is that this is actually several months after their real wedding. And they are still so in love! Aw. I have been trying to get this post out today but I’m not quite going to manage to finish it in all its glory so here is […]
