You’ve captured a lot of artists and entertainers as well. What is it like
photographing celebrities?
I am lucky in that I photographed some famous people very early on in my career so I
got used to it very quickly, and it is not something that I find difficult to deal with at all
now. They are just people like everybody else and usually enjoy being treated as such.
You did the movie posters for modern British classic like Billy Elliot and
Love Actually. How is shooting a movie poster different from capturing a
portrait?
It tends to be much more art directed so I have less freedom to just do what I want
and have to follow a brief more carefully. In those instances I try to follow that brief
and then give them something in addition, that they maybe didn’t know they wanted.
