Ali Lomas is a portrait and fashion photographer from Burton on Trent who went to Loughborough University. She has made a name for herself by featuring in many issues of 'Elle' magazine and by having her work exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery. She tries to create a balance between fine art and fashion within all of her work. She shoots the vast majority of her shots landscape, which is quite unique for a portrait photography and I think it makes the shots more interesting and focus on the location as well as the model.
I'm in two-minds about Ali Lomas' work. Some of her work I find really beautiful, and then I see something else which seems rather amateur in the use of composition and lighting. I don't know whether that's just her experimental work or just if I'm being too critical. With some images, I struggle to understand if there's meant to be meaning behind it and if so what that meaning is. I like her uses of location and the experimental poses she gives her models to use their bodies to enhance the image.
