Jeremy Paxman for TATLER

I recently had the honour of being asked by Tatler to photograph British TV and news personality Jeremy Paxman, considered a notorious interviewer and a bit of an all round intellectual powerhouse. Needless to say I was a little daunted! Thankfully though I think  managed to break through the frosty exterior to create a honest portrait of the man himself. We was photographed at The Langham Hotel in London's West End, above is the one as it that ran and below are two outtakes.

Below is quick phone snap of the set-up and my two assistants in the day Jordan and Olivia.

Tearsheets - Mountain of Hell

This was one of slightly tougher assignments this year; covering a Mountain Bike race at 3200m in the French Alps, whilst enduring 120kph winds and no transport (lot of walking between stages). Still I was pretty happy with the results and the guys at The Church of London did a great job with the design of the final piece. The whole story can be seen here on my website. In the meantime here's an amusing vid I found that actually shows me (green jacket) in the act of shooting the image below. Amazing what pops up on the internet.
