For Creative People, Episode 6: Helen Jane Campbell’s guest is Paul Clarke

Welcome to the final episode in the first series of For Creative People. My special guest is photographer Paul Clarke, who I’ve known professionally AND as a friend for around 15 years now.

Paul is a photographer, filmmaker and producer based in London. His client work ranges from the glamorous world of the Oscars, to your local church hall. He's been the personal photographer for heads of state, private party snapper for A list celebrities, and spent a lot of time chasing Battersea dogs around muddy parks.

Working nationally and internationally, Paul has won awards for corporate and private work, but mostly enjoys finding and connecting with the world's most interesting people. His style is often described as strong, bold and vibrant, with an eye for colour and composition. As well as people photography, Paul has a personal project "While I was up there" – a collection of London landscapes taken from high buildings, while covering events hosted in these striking venues.

With a pre-photography background in public service design and delivery, Paul has a hunger for all the stories that hide in plain sight, and the tricky bits of the universe that often seem simple at first.

For Creative People, Episode 5: Helen Jane Campbell’s guest is Maxine McKenzie

In this episode, I interview Max McKenzie about creativity and what it means to live a creative life. Max is a Feng Shui consultant and energy healer, and formerly a brand and marketing director, working in a variety of sectors and organisations for nearly 30 years. We’ve had the pleasure of working together in different ways since 2009, and I’d always jump at the chance to collaborate. I’ve been honoured to coach Max in recent years, and I’ve also learned so much from her when she led projects I worked on at both Directgov and RIBA.

A large part of Max's career was spent with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Which helped her understand how people interact with their environment and how good design can influence behaviour and improve lives. She worked on the Stirling Prize for architecture and RIBA Grand Designs House of the Year and saw the transformative power of amazing design in buildings large and small.

Alongside her day job, in 2008 she started on a journey of self-development to deal with some personal issues and because she wanted to feel happier and be a better parent. This led to her training in energy healing, integral core therapy, and most recently Feng Shui. All of her story is brought together and utilised in her Feng Shui practice. Feng Shui is a powerful wisdom that is thousands of years old and works on the basis that what shows up in our home shows up in our life. Max works with clients to bring their homes into harmony and balance, thus creating opportunities for them to live the life they truly want.
