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.
Spotlighting women working across film and TV. An almost entirely monochrome world evolved from Grace Clarke’s styling.What an awesome day in the studio with the team from Harper’s Bazaar.
New key art for Netflix upcoming series Being Gordon Ramsay. This one started sixty floors up, watching the sun rise over London surrounded by maneki-neko in Gordon Ramsay’s new restaurant. And it finished with the executive chef Ronnie Kimbugwe throwing a huge bunch of carrots into the air. In between we took photos of course, but we also talked about love, family, training for triathlons, the best champagne, liquid nitrogen, obsessing over produce and a thousand other things. The shot list to make a poster like this is huge, with every person needing their own mix of accessories — from gently crawling crustaceans to giant architectural blueprints. But I love a challenge, so with coffee flowing, a colour-coded set, and an epic playlist, we got to work capturing the personalities of the brilliant characters surrounding our unstoppable protagonist. Gordon himself said on set “everyone here is the talent.” I could...

A wee bit of Scotland that’s come a long way. So much fun bringing this one to life. Huge thanks to New Commercial Arts for asking me to direct and photograph the campaign.

It was a pleasure to work with the WWD Beauty Inc team for the first time, creating portraits for their special edition featuring Nicolas Hieronimus, this year’s recipient of the 2025 Pete Born Impact Award. Nicolas has this quiet confidence that steadies a room. While we shot, we talked about everything from cycling and music to life as the CEO of the world’s largest beauty company. A huge thank you to the Beauty Inc crew, and everyone who made the day run seamlessly. Read the full interview in WWD’s Beauty Inc: LINK

It was great to catch up with Mishal Husain to create portraits for her new show at Bloomberg, which features conversations with world leaders and pioneers. We’ve worked together before on her Observer Magazine cover, photographing in her mother’s living room. Needless to say, the Bloomberg newsroom was a rather different space, but she brought that same calm confidence and sharp presence. A huge thank you to Leonor Mamanna, the entire team at Bloomberg, Louise Heywood, and everyone else who ensured the day ran smoothly. Listen to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, or click here: LINK
When I’m in my 90s I want to be like Judi Dench – witty, mischievous and drinking champagne at lunch. The team at Die Zeit asked me to photograph Dame Judi with fellow actor Brendan O’Hea. She and Brendan are long-term friends and it shows – they play off each other, make fools of each other and laugh constantly. A joy to witness. The portraits accompany a beautiful interview feature about `The man who pays the rent’ – a series of informal and intimate conversations between Dame Judi and Brendan. The book has just been published in Germany. I am still pinching myself to believe this happened…
I’m honoured that this portrait of Tilda Swinton has been selected as a finalist for the 40th AOP awards. Huge thanks to Victor & Simon and the incredible Cartier team for helping make this special moment happen.
