    This first portrait captures Mo Gawdat in a more pensive mood, but trust me, he's one of the warmest, smiliest souls you'll ever meet (see portraits 2&3 for proof!). If you're familiar with Mo's life story, you'll understand why I was drawn to illustrating his leaving the darkness for the light. The former chief business officer for Google X - one of the most prominent voices in the AI space and just an all-around wonderful human. Mo has been through some extremely challenging personal experiences but has made happiness his life's work. He has dived deep into the subject ..read more

Chantal Lyons, the author of the book 'Groundbreakers,' which explores the resurgence of Britain's Wild Boar populations, 700 years after their human led demise. The book was released yesterday and is a fascinating read. If you are familiar with wild Boars, you'll notice something awry in image number 1, and it's not Chantal... the wonders of Photoshop! In image 3, you can observe a Boar's wallow in the beautiful Forest of Dean and a tree that the muddy, wet boars like to rub themselves all over ..read more

The announcement by Tata Steel to close the two blast furnaces at the Port Talbot steelworks will be a devastating blow to the community. The impending loss of nearly 3000 jobs and the ripple effect in the area is incomprehensible. I've visited the imposing furnaces at the steelworks several times. It is unlike any place I've ever photographed—pure fire and brimstone, almost otherworldly. I hope to have the opportunity to return before it becomes a remnant from another time ..read more

Main man of the moment Steven Bartlett, photographed last month in our great capital. Watching Steven's formidable output on platforms like YouTube is pretty dizzying; his work rate appears to transcend the capabilities of us ordinary individuals. I'm a huge fan of his "Diary of a CEO" podcast. Steven seems to have a knack for thought-provoking questions, setting his show apart from similar podcasts. It feels genuine and relatable. His podcast, along with Lex Friedman's, stands out as two of the best in that category. I highly recommend them. Photographs shot for Steven's soon to be released ..read more

My photographs of the talented actor Brian Cox, known for his role most recently in the widely embraced TV show Succession, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I can't think of another tv show I have been as captivated by, it made me laugh and cry, especially that gripping final season... quite the rollercoaster. Brian's portrayal of Logan Roy, and the last vestiges of the terrifying Machiavellian patriarch, was central to the show's drama. It was a thrilling experience to meet the man behind the character and capture these portraits for this project with BBC Maestro #BrianCox#Succession#TVShow#Drama ..read more

Andy Taylor | Duran Duran A couple of portraits with Duran Duran co-founder and guitarist Andy Taylor. I'm not usually a fan of sunglasses in portraits, but speaking with Andy's PR guy ahead of the shoot he said 'I've known Andy 15 years and I've seen him without sunglasses on once'... Sunglasses it is! At least you can fire 600 watt flashes straight on at a subject without worrying about hurting eyes. ?? #DuranDuran#RockstarLife#AndyTaylor#BehindTheSunglasses#musicicons #PortraitPerfection#CelebrityStyle ..read more

Victorian Bee Keeping

    I had a delightful day with Duncan, the beekeeper, documenting his work up at Brodsworth Hall in Yorkshire. I've photographed beekeepers many times now and when confronted with the sound of thousands of bees buzzing I'm always conscious of having to override the evolutionary instinct to exit the area quickly. I'm sure there's a primal drive to not be around that sound, a bit like catching sight of spiders in the corner of your eye. Something quicker than thought takes over. But bees are so interesting, it's worth hanging around. The 'waggle dance' of the bees is something that ..read more

The always delightful Kate Humble photographed for NetWealth and Bridge Studios a few months back. On a previous shoot with Kate at her very beautiful home in the Wye Valley, she very kindly sent me home with a box of home grown vegetables. Mrs Iwan Jones and I cooked them up for that evening's dinner. As I was tucking into the roasted courgettes Mrs I-J commented on my infrequent indulgence of the courgette. I pointed out that 'these are not just any courgettes, these are Kate Humble courgettes'- Vegetables elevated by association ..read more
