Thanks to the great man Mr Addison Cresswell ,who many moons ago entrusted me to photograph his star pupil Lee Evans .Up to that point i had only worked with musicians, and it opened up the world of comedy, a whole new photographic landscape for me. I have continued to capture the endless contortions of Lee over the years. Be that in a harness, on a trampoline, or even submerged in a deep filmset swimming pool. This is the latest creation by Myself and Lee, with artworking by Lewis at Tangerine. Its currently on billboards and escalators all over this fair city advertising his new tour called “Monsters”

This being the weekend of Sports Relief it seemed only fitting to post a little portrait I did while shooting for Comic relief recently. The Only Fools And Horses sketch was shot over two days at Wimbledon studios ,and I was lucky enough to document the unfolding on set action.

I’ve worked with the multi-talented chap that is DANIEL DONSKOYM quite a few times. The most recent of which was for the new production of ”LA RONDE” of which he is the producer. The original play, written in 1897 shocked Europe on its release with its tales of sex, love and lust. Director MAX GILL updates the story to modern day London and the four actors appear in an order defined by the spinning wheel at the rear of the stage .

This years Red Nose Day raised over £75 million. I was lucky enough to be involved in bits of it. The two pix are from the sketches “Equality Street” directed by and starring Ricky Gervais and “Simons Wedding”,with Mr.Cowell, David Walliams and a large supporting cast directed by the dude that is Matt Lipsey! A couple of very fun days all in aid of a truly wonderful cause…

Once upon a time back in June 2006 I had the the pleasure of photographing David while he was doing his little thing on “Extras” with Ricky Gervais.We shot some portraits in a little makeshift studio I had erected in a room above where the filming was taking place.
