Telluride, Colorado – 2024
“The main street in Telluride, Colorado holds the attention of anyone with a visual sensibility; it is as good as it gets for a mountain town. There is a final frontier timelessness and then there is the grandest of mountains bossing all that happens below. Not much has changed in the last 100 years and I doubt much will change in the next 100 either.
My idea in this parody of the movie with same name, was not to disrupt the almost perfect symmetry of the view looking east. Indeed, with the right styling and the right talent, I could enforce that sense of balance in all layers of the image; the street allows for that opportunity.
The use of space is core to storytelling with a camera, but so often we do fall short, for one reason or another, in maximising the potential. That makes photographs like this more rewarding. The lines and the composition work.
There are so many people to thank for helping that cold Sunday morning in Telluride: the town and its mayor; the snow handlers and indeed the whole crew. But I want to specially thank the Josie and Holly and their respective teams who did a first-class job. It is not easy to look that hot when the temperatures are that cold.”

All Nighter in Cowtown
Fort Worth, Texas – 2024
“In Fort Worth, the road under the Stockyard sign rises as it moves west away from the heart of Cowtown. This allows for much deeper visuals of the historic area and, from a filmmaker’s perspective, offers the potential of a wider narrative. If the road was flat, the location would still be strong, but it is the hill that transforms the potential.
Fort Worth is a fully paid-up member of the Americana Club and the city’s rise in fortunes over the last 10 years is testimony to the role the Stockyards played in the old west. The cowboy is the most enduring symbol of America and Fort Worth is the cowboy’s spiritual home. Little wonder, therefore, that this stretch of road will host nine million visitors this year.There are few hotter areas in American real estate right now than this pocket of Texas and I sense that Taylor Sheridan has played something of a role in the growing awareness of cattle culture. The lore of the cattle markets and ranches no longer only speaks to Texans.
I wanted to shoot this tableaux at first light to amplify the neon lighting in the background and create more of a visual mood. That ambition made for greater challenges with the camera, but I just hadn’t seen a picture like this before and that always energises me. The location will always be there and that forces the cameraman to push a few boundaries in the quest to be authentic. It is just not good enough to shoot the Stockyards during normal working hours. More of the same is never an option.
I think the vignette plays to the vibe of Cowtown. This is a storied place where, over the last 160 years, there must have been many late nights of hard drinking and those on the street at dawn, will be going to bed, not getting up.

Poker Nights
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025
“Poker was as integral a part of cowboy life in the long winter nights as it was around a campfire in the summer. It was the most common form of entertainment – especially if those cowboys could neither read nor write. There was also, of course, a transactional element to the activity; money would meaningfully change hands.
The problem in Wyoming, however, was the state outlawed gambling in 1901. But the iconic Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole never really bothered with that too much. In the 1940s, customers entering the bar were greeted with roulette craps and poker tables throughout the main room. Meanwhile, big stakes poker games were held in the back. It was a little Las Vegas as much as it was a watering hole and the use of space was a brazen affront to the law that played to the lore of the loosely governed wild west.
In 1951, Wyoming’s gambling crack down spread to the last stronghold – The Cowboy Bar – and when the bust came, early one Tuesday morning, there were apparently over 100 slot machines in operation. The Attorney General said of the raid “Jackson was one of the last bad spots and this probably winds it up”.
The bar would go on to reinvent itself into the iconic music and dancing venue that it is now. But fabulous stories of this illicit gambling den remain for us all to enjoy. Apparently, one roulette wheel was fixed with numerous magnets hidden under the table, which allowed the dealer to determine the winning number. The owner, at the time, was an electrician and he thought the customers were fair game.”

Telluride's Happy Gilmore (B&W)
2025
“The visually blessed mountain town of Telluride in Colorado has accommodated story book characters since its foundation as a mining town in the late 19th century. Nestling at 9,500 feet up in the San Juan mountains, I think the thin air impinges on the ability of anyone to be even remotely normal. We are a quarter of the way through the 21st century, but Telluride remains a frontier town at the end of the line.
Those that have found Telluride and chosen to make it their home, celebrate life, as well they should; there are very few places I know on the planet that offer such a good way of life. It is a resort full of happy extroverts who embrace the culture of Carpe diem.
Telluride Golf Club is the third highest in elevation in America (out of 16,000 courses) and almost every hole has an outrageous backdrop. I thought that the18th hole, with the cliff hugging airport in the distance, would be an ideal platform to tell a story of a Wild West community that knows how to enjoy life.
I have become increasingly drawn to participation art and greatly admire the work of French photographer JR. The quest for authenticity is core to art and participation art is almost always authentic. Involving many people in a staged image does lean on logistics a little, but the key is to emotionally invest in the community of whom you are asking so much.
It is about “winning the crowd” and I could not have done this without the support and advocacy of locals in town. I want to thank Gold Mountain Gallery and Telluride Ski & Golf Club for their enthusiasm for this project and then, of course, the 100 locals who turned up at 6.30 am in period clothing at 9,500 feet up a mountain.”

The Girl On The Vespa
The timeless island of Procida, in the Bay of Naples, has caught the eye of film directors of stature. Anthony Minghella was drawn to it and made full use of it in The Talented Mr Ripley and in the same era, Il Postino: The Postman was shot almost entirely on the island.
I like the island, not just for its worn facades or the artisan life that defines it, but because there is a strong sense of place in almost every location. The still camera can capture that vibe in a single frame, which is quite rare and always encourages me.
This little street – used by Minghella – caught my eye because the camera lens must point up as the road is on a steep slope. This allows for a wider narrative behind the subject and if we travel to somewhere as special as Procida, we want to include as much context as possible. A road with a steep incline is almost always good news.
In the first 58 years of my life, I never traveled to Procida and then, in the space of eight months, I went there five times. Someone tracking my movements – and thankfully I don’t think anyone is bored enough or interested enough to do so – would suspect something was up. They would be right, though it was nothing more than a new obsession – like a dog with a new bone. I knew there was stuff to do here, and I needed to let it all soak in.
Alessandra Ambrosio nailed her role as “The girl on the vespa”, but this was far from her first rodeo, and even at 06.20 am she looks too good to be true. Everything else was intuitive – including, of course, a Maradona shirt on the laundry line. That shirt is part of every street in the Bay of Naples

A Room With A View
If locations had the right to be called “heaven on earth”, then the Amalfi Coast would fancy its chances of owning it and not being mocked. There are not many places I know that can get away with that. The timeless beauty and dramatic location of communities such as Atrani are well known; the dramatic peninsula attracts five million visitors a year despite car journeys that are not for the faint hearted. This is no secret garden.
Making this photograph of the generational supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio in Atrani needed some thought. It was a good premise, with some world class constituents, but we could not afford to be creatively lame.
We knew a modest B&B with one room whose balcony had the right view of Atrani. But my sense was that it needed an extra variable to give that emphatic sense of place. My leaning was to construct a lemon grove – as the fruit is symbolic of the region. In the Bay of Naples, lemons are Jurassic; almost as if they have evolved differently from everywhere else and when they come together on a grove, it offers a visual feast.
This was not an easy set and the people who made it happen were the locals of Atrani: the Mayor; the Chief of Police; the landlord and the lemon gardener. It was a true team effort. There is such a sense of community here and that is what makes the Amalfi Coast truly special. The hilltop scenery, the azure sea, the food and the wine all transcend at some level, but it’s the people living and working behind Alessandra in this photograph who make the location so special.
It is a “Room with a view” – a view of a proper community.

Bellissimo (Colour)
Bellisimo
Archival Pigment Print
Neapolitans are intensely proud people – “Vedi Napoli e poi muori” goes the local proverb (see Napoli and die). That pride is well deserved given the city’s unique well-worn beauty, the visual splendour of Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples and then the palpable sense of community that has been consistently nurtured generation after generation. Throw in the archaeological treasure trove of Pompeii, culinary preeminence, Diego Maradona and Napoli FC and this is an ancient city that never stops giving.
Like being Texan, being Neapolitan assures a certain state of mind, but unlike Texas, that state of mind may have been on offer for 3000 years. The area has been continuously inhabited since 1000 BC – one of the oldest such cases in the world – and this has probably worked against radical urban redevelopment. I sense that there has never been a real window of opportunity to establish modernity and the reward is what we can now all see.
Undeniably poor in parts, and chaotic almost everywhere, Napoli is raw and untamed, but that is what makes it artistically captivating. What the inner city lacks in serenity, it makes up for in adrenalin. Driving a car here is a combative Olympic sport, not just a means of getting from A to B.
In filtering down to what is truly core to the city, I sense that two constituents simply cannot be removed – food and football. That is not to say that the other associations are emphatically weaker, but these two are surely integral to the fabric of the Paris of the South.
I was fortunate to be working in town last Friday when Napoli FC landed the Serie A title for the 4th time in the club’s history. Forza Napoli and Forza Scott McTominay. And it was also a treat to work with Alessandra Ambrosio, who despite huge fame, has never really changed at all.
There have been many photographs taken in the Bay of Naples of girls eating pasta over the years and I wanted a fresh composition. This image of the celebrated Alessandra Ambrosio eating vongole on the roof of the famous Grand Hotel Parker’s has a definite sense of place for sure.
It’s always the small things and I like the one glass in this shot – the most notorious volcano in the world and we get to see it twice in one frame.
