Ken Follett | Stonehenge
Take one publishing sensation, the most iconic stones in the world and North Wiltshire's premier photographer, and you've got yourself a rather lovely day out.
I was thrilled to be asked to photograph publicity imagery of Ken Follett amongst the trilithons (any opportunity) and monoliths of Stonehenge ahead of the release of Ken's latest book 'Circle of Days', which has just been released and explores one of humanity’s enduring mysteries, Stonehenge.
The eagle eyed amongst you might also spot Flint knapper and all round legend Phil Harding in image number 3.
Robbie Savage | Forest Green Rovers
The very photogenic Mr Robbie Savage photographed last week at Forest Green Rovers training ground for the Times Sport.
Personalised Number Plates
'MAD 4 IT'. Personalised number plates are big business, often costing more than the car they are attached to. I headed to Worcestershire for the annual Registration Numbers Club rally to photograph the event and capture the people behind these plates, on assignment for @gdnsaturday.
The “1 HRH” plate featured in this set, It’s currently up for sale at a cool £2.5 million.
Sir Tim Rice | BBC MAESTRO
There have been a few moments over the years where I’ve had to pinch myself while working. Jarvis Cocker dancing in front of me whilst I took his portrait was one such standout. Another is a moment from this shoot: Sir Tim Rice sat at his early 19th-century Blüthner grand piano, filling the room with A Whole New World from Aladdin as I photographed him. These little moments make all the hard work worthwhile.
Major Tiny Tom
I’d thought about taking this photograph for a while. I remember watching the M. Night Shyamalan film Signs in the 2000s, which features a house surrounded by eerie, towering cornfields, and that imagery stuck with me.
P&O Cruises
A little lifestyle work I shot for P&O Cruises a while back. Three days, two ships, and a bunch of tough kids who made a chilly shoot look like summer!
RedBull Magazine | Para Surfing
A really enjoyable commission for RedBull Magazine, photographing para surfers Zoe Smith and Melissa Reid
at Bristol’s inland surf spot, The Wave.
Salman Rushdie | Hay Festival
I made a quick trip to the final day of the Hay Literature Festival yesterday to photograph Salman Rushdie, ahead of his first public event in the UK since the man who stabbed him at an event in New York in 2022 was jailed for 25 years.
Charlotte Church | The Observer Magazine
My first front cover for The Observer Magazine: the wonderful Charlotte Church. Photographed at her outrageously beautiful retreat space 'The Dreaming', which is nestled in the Elan Valley. Surrounded by ancient moss-covered woodlands and dramatic rock faces, the whole place feels like something out of a fairytale, I recommend you visit.
Jason Robinson | Swiss Tourism
I'm catching up on sharing shoots from last year, and here’s another favorite! This time, a second trip to the breathtaking Jungfrau region in Switzerland with Rugby legend Jason Robinson. We had an incredible few days on the slopes, indulging in amazing food, and staying at the iconic Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel in Interlaken.
I’ve completely fallen in love with this corner of the world. I’ve spent more time then I'd lie to admit to daydreaming about somehow moving there—maybe starting a second career as a Raclette chef!
