Hi I’m Ant and here’s a little about me!
Where did it start?
I studied Photography and Fine Art at University and always loved doing things that were a bit out there. Landscapes were and still are my passion, but don’t just think of sunsets and undulating hills, think abandoned spaces, subways and urban spaces, both night and day. After graduating, my camera kind of stuck with me through most things, until I finally starting making a living from it, doing what I think is the most awesome job; shooting the happiest of happy days.
My other loves .. A good Sunday roast (I’m a Yorkshire man after all!), playing lots of guitar, reading horror stuff, you can’t beat Stephen King; and most of all spending time with our awesome family - making the most of those rare days off!
Hello! I’m Lynsay the other half of Icon and I guess if you’re here you’d like to know a little more about me - I have a tendency to witter so I’ll keep it brief!
Where did it start?
I studied Criminology & Photography at University after my dad telling me that I would never make a living out of using a camera, I had to pick something with a bit of dad credibility! I’m sure he still thinks because I don’t work 9-5 that I don’t have a ‘real’ job! Haha, sorry dad!
My other loves .. I love being outdoors, long walks with our little sausage dog Bella, spending time pottering in our garden, taking our kids to the beach! Oh, and a Gin & Tonic, I loved it before it was fashionable!
