KEVIN LAKE - Photographer

BIO

Beginning a career in the late stages of music magazine photography I got the privilege of going to amazing places for very little budget. telling a monaco hotel concierge to empty the mini bar to avoid a holding charge was part of the fun. What I lost in monetary terms howe ver i gained in creative flexibilty (and a life of great experiences). Give me 5 mins in a club alleyway and I could get you a cover shot, not to mention being part of some of defining moments of club music history like the last night of Space in ibiza.

Nowadays I spend my time at street level, seeing the same cities waking up but from early mornings over late nights. I am fascinated by people and moments that break the monotony of normal life. be it an album lanuch in a vegan kebab shop or an expo for pokemon. I love the work i do and hopefully that shows.
