If you’re involved in the U.K. grime rave scene as a fan or an artist, then you’re likely familiar with London-based photographer Vicky Grout. Born in Poland, Vicky’s family moved to the U.K. when she was just three years old. Her love of music at an early age inspired her creative talent and inevitably led to her teaching herself photography through trial and error and inspiration from others’ work.
Her talent started blossoming at 17 when she started taking photos at grime raves just to document the events for herself. In the last few years, Vicky’s made a name for herself with some of the genre’s biggest artists, using her distinctive style to capture their raw talent and energy. With a focus on MCs, she tries to embody their passion by photographing the artist in the right moment.
She had intended to pursue graphic design at one point, but she gave that up when she started receiving commissions for her photography. Her energetic talent goes beyond the music scene and touches the portrait, street, and fashion industries too with campaigns and lookbooks for companies like Urban Outfitters, Manors Golf, Clark’s Originals, and more. Through her work with photographing everything happening in London culture, you can see Vicky hone in on authentically portraying the city’s character.
In this episode, she and Sam discuss her photography career. She recalls her love of creativity as a kid, talks about turning her photography interest into a career, and shares her perspective as a female in a male-dominated field. Vicky also touches on setting your rate as a photographer and how that affects other freelancers and delves into how some recent technical failures in her career turned into positive work experiences.
