The State Of Us – Key Art

The State of Us has its world premiere today at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Starring Sam Bottomley and Callum Scott Howells, and directed by Ollie Gardner and Jake Harvey, the film is a passion project by all involved and a gorgeous story about male friendship. As soon as Jake told me Callum would be hanging out of the top of a car like this, I knew it would make an awesome shot. I got strapped into the boot of one car while Callum was strapped into the sunroof of the other, then off we sped down a country lane at midnight. My assistant George Hall counted down the approaching street lamps so I could catch the light at exactly the right moment.

Summer light is a wonderful thing. I photographed food writer Nigel Slater in his gorgeous home in North London, embracing all the natural light flooding in through his giant window. Thanks to Alex Ortiz and Michael Whitaker at the magazine, and to the photo team George Hall & Rosie Wilson

At Britain’s biggest night in cinema, my portrait studio was tucked backstage for the fourth time: a haven where winners and presenters could exhale, shake off the roar of the room, and simply be: laughing, sharing, playing.

Alan Cumming – EE BAFTA Film Awards 2026

Loved photographing the BAFTA Film Awards’ new host. Alan really took to our little box, throwing amazing shapes all shoot long. See him in full swing on stage this Sunday at the Royal Festival Hall. I will be there too, though hiding behind the curtain with a camera in hand.
