Michelle – The Undrowned Child | Portrait

Marianne — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 22:32:00 +0000

You may remember that I took author portraits of Michelle Lovric back in May. Well her new book, The Undrowned Child, will be published tomorrow 2nd of July. It’s Michelle’s first foray into children’s literature, but it’s definitely not just for the young ones. In her own words the book is for:

“everyone who might be interested in a book about Venice,
rude mermaids, baddened magic,
hot chocolate and curry.
And books, of course. (Isn’t that everyone?)“.

Go check out the fun website, complete with some excellent sound effects. :D You can order your own copy of The Undrowned Child through Amazon.

Michelle | Portrait

On Friday I had the pleasure of taking portraits of author Michelle Lovric. Taking author portraits was a new experience for me, and it was interesting trying to approach the task from a perspective of ‘what does the portrait convey to the reader’. It did add another aspect to taking a portrait, and I must say I quite enjoyed the challenge.

It was also a great experience to be able to shoot in Michelle’s absolutely beautiful flat, and to hear about her life, which sounds pretty enviable to me seeing that she divides her time between London and Venice – my two favourite cities!
