Meet the BAFTA Breakthrough Brits
‘Would you like to spend two days photographing an endless stream of fascinating people Charlie?’ ‘Yes please’ I was asked to photograph the talented Breakthrough Brits for BAFTA this year. We danced, jumped, played air guitar, debated about biscuits, performed t-rex impressions, pretended to be pin ups and at one point I emerged as Joseph and his amazing technicolour dreamcoat – soundtrack included (thank you Burberry for the amazing outfit). Thank you to BAFTA, Burberry and the amazing team behind the shoot. We created some wonderful photographs of the Breakthrough British talent. You can find out more about them here: LINK

“Don’t ask me about apple pie… it’s a bit too personal” When you have to spend two days photographing the best of the best in new talent you don’t quite know what to expect. It turns out that you can discover some of their more intimate secrets. Did you know that Malachi Kirby is almost romantic about his love for apple pie? Florence Pugh on the other hand has a thing for the taste of unripe bananas. And there’s nothing like dancing with Kayode Ewumi. Not only can he move his hips in an alluring manner, but he also very good at playing air guitar whilst winking at the camera. He really is a flirt, as were a lot of the BAFTA Breakthrough Brits to be honest. BAFTA asked me to photograph their new team of Breakthrough Brits. Selected by a star-studded jury this group of talented people from the TV,...
