Absolutely honoured to have photographed the Kagami Biraki Ceremony for Nobu in London’s Portman Square.
Such a historic event, with a spectacular guest list. We were given the opportunity for a short portrait shoot with the founders before everything began, producing a new keynote image for the brand’s global website.
Great to meet Robert De Niro and Chef Nobu, to see the legendary DJ Fat Tony behind the decks, and to photograph plenty of familiar faces having a great time.
I’m proud to be a regular at Nobu, massive thanks to all the team for always looking after us so well. I hope you enjoy these photos x
Farewell, Your Majesty.
HRH Queen Elizabeth II
21.04.1926 - 08.09.2022
This was the very first time I photographed our Queen, one of the proudest days of my life.
Honoured to have photographed, and been in the company of, King Charles III on many occasions.
I've always found him to be ahead of the game, impressively knowledgable about so many topics, and of course brilliant at putting others at ease. He is genuinely funny and has that slightly mischievous glint in his eye that his mother often had.
Most recently, on a visit to the World Jewish Relief HQ to receive a briefing about the situation in Ukraine, almost before the briefing had begun, he asked about the likelihood of rescuing innocent civilians from Mariupol by road and how difficult this must be with the military blockades and logistical challenges. I was, once again, taken aback by his knowledge. As he left the building to walk to his car, he spotted that a crowd had amassed a little further up the road. He waved, and then to my surprise walked over and chatted to them all, with a laugh and a joke and the right words to say. They didn't expect it, nor did I.
As he assumes his new position as our Monarch, it seems as though he is not allowed time and space to grieve the passing of his mother. Despite the many challenges he has faced, and his many critics over the years, he too is unquestionably dedicated to public service, and was dedicated to environmental issues way before it was fashionable.
I hope to be able to photograph Charles again, as King Charles III.
