Never work with children and animals. An urban myth to say the least. It’s all in the planning and anticipation of what might happen and how to deal with it. Quite often it’s dealing with the pet owner or animal wrangler who are more challenging and far less patient than their animals. Here is a series of portraits for Bayer, gorgeous animals simply shot capturing their individual personalities. Thanks to my loyal friend @robin_horrex who with whom I’ve had many challenging shoots since our days at art college running his fantastic agency @wearembc. Also to @jillcosh for her super production management and fluffy friend castings. #profotoglobal _______________________________________ (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWUMrAgxxc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ootezxwhkbaj

A Week In December. This was the third cover I shot for Sebastian Faulks on the Millennium Bridge at dawn. We had permission to shoot on the bridge but no permission to shut it down and stop traffic. I knew it would work in our favour with London waking up and commuters stating to cross the bridge in the background. The temperature off the Thames on the shoot morning was approximately -5C° and both talent where finding it really challenging at a location were we had little shelter other than wardrobe. _______________________________________ (at Millennium Bridge (London)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvTUZ0DA0gj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o41l56le9vro

Briony. One of the joys about shooting book covers is hopefully you have an opportunity to try things out on the shoot day. From my experience this often leads to the unexpected shot that becomes the hero session of the shoot and sometime not. Sometimes it is really hard to make a choice from a session and that’s a good thing. All this depends on your planning, team and especially the collaboration with your art director. Here is an outtake from my shoot for Ian McEwans Atonement, shot on transparency and cross processed to push the photography towards the period of the novel. #profotoglobal _______________________________________ (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMfMAmg7lo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wwjipthaail1
