The mighty Stephen Graham. This was shot for the LA Times in a little makeshift studio I set-up in a boardroom at Netflix HQ ahead of the release of his new show Adolescence - a ‘masterful, emotionally complex’ four part series, each episode shot in one take (a notoriously hard thing to do). We had 20 minutes together, not long at all, but he’s such a pro and was immediately on board with my vision to create a series of portraits that channelled the visceral and complex tone of the show. . . Huge thanks to @chapin73 @publiceyecomms @netflixuk @stephengraham1973 @pimvanbaalen . . #stephengraham #adolescence

I’d only peripherally heard of Outlander, but after being asked to shoot the main leads earlier this year I went on a deep dive and realised how huge and beloved the show is. In preparation for the shoot I even started watching it, and although historical fantasy romance isn’t normally my bag I was bewitched by Sam Heughan and the mesmeric Caitriona Balfe. After 11 years and 8 seasons the finale airs this week, and the press interest has been huge. . . I photographed Caitriona and Sam at the end of a long press junket day - by the time they came to me they had already done a staggering 8 shoots at the Soho Hotel. Over the years I’ve done a number of shoots during press days there, and I always feel slightly intimidated when I turn up with a single assistant and a car full of kit to find other photographers coming out with a huge crew and a lorry load of equipment. The first time this happened was over 10 years ago when I was photographing the director Mira Nair (and none other than the mother of Zohran Mamdani) for the FT. Upon arrival my heart sank as I saw @nadavkander loading out - for a young and relatively inexperienced photographer this felt like an insurmountable talent to follow. . . This time I was ushered in to a two bedroom suite, the larger of which was hosting a Vogue shoot with all the crew and kit one might imagine. I had a paper backdrop, 3 Profoto heads plus the talents of @ritikashaivaphotography on assist, and only 30 minutes to shoot portraits of Caitriona and Sam together and separately. But my goodness they were PROS 💪 - not the merest hint of any tiredness after a gruelling day of press. They were also just unfailingly polite and professional (and gorgeous) and so well deserving of their legions of die-hard fans. Thanks as ever to @thelatimes and @chapin73for brilliant shoots that also keep me on my toes! Also what a treat to see @gracegilfeather who was styling @samheughan 🖤 . . #outlander #starz #caitrionabalfe #samheughan

My Rachel Weisz crush continues - in fact it’s somewhat amplified after our shoot together. She was properly unwell(the shoot had been called off twice only to be given the green light at the 11th hour) and I was primed for a tense and short shoot. She’d had a long day making the key art for her upcoming Netflix release Vladimir and I was worried that the last thing she would want is more photos. I set up my lights in a small corner of @alvastudios and waited nervously for her to come off the big set on to my little one. However my fears were allayed when she finally came over - she was all smiles (and utterly beautiful - enhanced further by the talents of @kaymontanomakeup_ ), and though obviously ill she really wanted to help me get the best shots during our short time together. Not only that but she was charming and curious. Thanks to @chapin73 who commissioned these photographs for The LA Times. . . #rachelweisz #latimes #vladimir #netflix
