Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025
“It’s only when an adult bison head finds itself next to an adult human head that the enormity of the animal can be truly conveyed. This is not an easy trick in an open ranchland, never mind at a saloon entrance in the mountains of Wyoming. The bison is such an emblematic part of the American West and whenever we film them, either in the wild or on a set, I am drawn to the very big bulls. Why go any other way?
We know that in telling stories from the wild west we are on well-trodden ground – it is the oldest genre of them all – and that does mean we have a deep fear of the mundane. I feel the need to push some boundaries in my own revisionism whilst not being too serious about the whole crusade. We are looking to be playful long before we are looking to preach. There is a cartoonish element to the whole process and my characters tend to be stripped back to basic levels, as is the case here, with the cowboy and the saloon girl. Thank you always to Josie Canseco who looks the part, even in the extreme cold.
In most situations it is the creative idea that needs to be worked on rather than specifically the execution, but in this case, the execution was a formidable undertaking; the bison is not an animal that lends itself to placement or set direction.
Fortunately, we do know one bison that goes by the name of Clyde who has a wrangler and can – to an extent – be persuaded to perform to order.”

You Cannot Be Serious (B&W)
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025
“John McEnroe is a sporting gunslinger, an urban cowboy and an utterly unique individual. He has never been one to accept convention or authority and was perfectly qualified therefore to play a lead role when we told a few stories one winter evening outside the legendary Millon Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming. He is everything I remember from him on court – competitive, questioning and sometimes irascible, but always alert and on point. We enjoy working with him as it prompts us to be at our creative best. I like to be on my toes.
John is a true American icon with some extraordinary gifts in the hand, eye, ball department. But he can also hold a good line in reasoned debate – which is why he has become a voice of authority on many issues over and above tennis. His dad was, of course, a lawyer, as indeed is his brother Mark who joined us on this trip. My sense is that over the years the McEnroes have won most of the arguments they have entered.
My creative predilection is to be wry rather than earnest and when we involve someone who has led as full a life as John, we would never want to ever suggest that we have earned the right to do anything other than have fun. We will work quick and smart and will not abuse his time – he has certainly earned that right. We will leave the loftier ambitions to artists elsewhere.
I think John loves music as much as sport and of course the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is first and foremost a music venue. I am sure that were his dear friend – the late, great Jimmy Buffett – to see this image, he would raise his glass and develop a wry smile.”

Twilight (B&W)
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025
“Telling stories of the Wild West in one single image is a challenging brief, as no matter the number of layers a photographer tries to incorporate in one frame, there can be a sense that he or she always wants to say more. After all, the “Push West” is the greatest story ever told.
That is why snow is such a helpful variant as it adds an extra character for free and we welcome that. I want to be visually greedy without overplaying it and bad weather or snow is often the solution. We like to work in bad weather or the remnants of it.
The language of light is the cornerstone of photography and I am drawn to the risk/reward ratio of working in sub optimal ambient light. This is particularly true when there is a Western brief, as this was a metaphorically dark and sinister era. The loosely governed nights were long and presumably full of menace.
In the same way that we would tell stories of Palm Beach society life in the richness of full daytime sunshine, tales of the lawless “final frontier” beg for a more Hitchcockian mood. I had this lighting in mind in the few days before I took this photograph in the mountains of Wyoming.
The concept was to build a saloon that looked marooned in the middle of nowhere and in so doing play to the vastness and emptiness of the Wild West. I sensed that half an hour before dusk would allow the lanterns in the old saloon to glow a little whilst also having enough daylight to tell an outdoor narrative. 30 minutes either side of then and it would be suboptimal.
Hollywood has long cast Westerns with a deeply masculine skew – almost to the point of parody. Therein lies an opportunity, because women must have been an integral part of the push West and I like to celebrate powerful women in my stories. The Austrian actress in this photograph, Heidi Berger, owns this stage – she has beauty, femininity and grace in her role but be in no doubt that she will pull the trigger if forced.
This picture is a homage to all those women out there who take no shit.”

The Jackson 4 (Colour)
JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING – 2025
“The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming opened its doors in 1937 and has become one of the most recognisable and celebrated cowboy bars in America. It offers a backdrop to hundreds of “selfies” every day and its longevity as an institution has allowed it to be permanently woven into the fabric of Americana. Very few country music stars have circumvented the Cowboy Bar.
I see it primarily as a place of the night, not the day; the fabled neon lights mark the epicentre of a community that retains an understated cowboy charm despite the huge wealth that sits in the Teton amphitheater. I have only ever photographed the facade of this bar in the middle of the night – it just seems the right option.
On this occasion, my creative leaning was to tell a 1970s music story with the nighttime facade of the bar as my backdrop. After all, little has changed here since the 1970s and this is a music venue first and foremost.
The VW bus was an obvious starting prop, but perhaps less likely was my choice of band leader – the American sporting icon – John McEnroe. John is a passionate guitarist, so I knew this role would appeal to his forever engaged mind. He was also something of a cowboy when it came to showing deference to authority in the tennis world. John brought the Wild West to Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows, so it was a natural fit at several levels.
I believe that my Jackson 4 caught the right vibe that night and the falling snow adds to the sense of place. I would imagine that back in the day many cowboys would have paid good money to swap with John and be on the road with these girls. But he has currency – he is, after all, John McEnroe.”

Being John McEnroe (Colour)
JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING – 2025
“The Silver Dollar Saloon at the Wort Hotel in Jackson Hole is a celebrated institution. There are quite a few bars scattered across the US sharing the same name, but I doubt many share the vice like grip that this venue holds over the local community.
I sat with the GM over Thanksgiving lunch in 2025 and he told me that they would hope to do 650 covers that day. That is a material operation, not the numbers of a poorly operated dive bar. There are no central archetypes at the Silver Dollar – it seems to play host to anyone living in the zip code and that makes for a rich visual feast. There are, however, more cowboy hats here than in a Parisian cafe.
The lead feature of the saloon is a neon illuminated winding bar which incorporates over 2,000 silver dollar coins into its resin surface – it’s part disco, part Lonesome Dove and it should not work aesthetically and yet it emphatically does. It was clearly the central prop around which to build this carefully staged vignette.
My central character for this set was the unique national treasure that is John McEnroe – musician, tennis legend, commentator, artist and general badass. John cannot really be pigeonholed into a convenient silo but give him a Gibson guitar and a cowboy hat and he looks much more at home here in the heart of the American West than he ever did at Wimbledon.
We had fun with the set dressing; I wanted a few nods to his presence in the bar which all added to the parody. I think an evening unfolding like this is entirely plausible at the Silver Dollar.”

Ferrari (Colour)
Amboy, California – 2023
Archival Pigment Print
“In the 1950s, the Californian Dream made Route 66 the most famous road in the world. “The Mother Road”, as John Steinbeck described it in The Grapes of Wrath, became the route of flight for the American Middle Class; a trend accelerated by the rapidly evolving Californian economy and the opening of Disneyland in 1955.
The stretch of road heading east near Amboy in the baking Californian desert showcases the Route 66 journey as it once was. The sense of scale offers the filmmaker a valuable tool kit and I have been drawn to this outpost for many years. It is a commitment of time to get there, but one that many road trippers make because of the iconic Roy’s Motel and Cafe which serves as the one identifiable landmark in a barren desert.
Amboy is a known known and I worried how I could break new ground because like all spectacular vistas in the US, it has been well photographed. The challenge is not in getting there, but in transcending when one does.
I called upon a Hong Kong friend who is a passionate investor in vintage cars and owns one of the most lauded and valuable collections in the world. I explained the shoot concept and he graciously offered up one his most coveted treasures – the 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Vignale Spider. It was one of only 12 built in the world and when one comes up at auction, they sell for more than a London townhouse. His team was kind enough to transport this fabled Ferrari 1,000 miles across the country, but at least when they arrived, they understood the opportunity. It was going to be a trip well made.
The design of the Ferrari was perfect as its low windscreen allowed my lens direct access into the faces of the girl (the wonderful Daniela Braga) and the wolf. They could then hold centre stage and let all the other constituent parts play off each other.
The goal of this shoot was to play on the metaphor that is Route 66. It encapsulates the American Dream, as it was the road of freedom and ambition. Go West, work hard, stay focused and enjoy the very best of lives.
We styled to the mid 1950s and I told Daniela to exude a sense of positivity. She should look, as Nat King Cole suggested, that she was “Getting her Kicks on Route 66”.
Hard not to in that Ferrari.”
