Players (B&W)
Wellington, Florida – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“My sense is that the leading figures in the equestrian capital of the world – Wellington, Florida – have game. This is not a place for meekness or routine existence, it is a community where life is attacked in an uncompromising way. People back themselves in Wellington and back themselves to win. Whether they be polo professionals, showjumpers, horse capitalists or team owners, this is a place of “Players”.
If a great storyteller like Taylor Sheridan focused his pen and his creative rigour on a town like Wellington, I pondered what the posters for the TV series would look like. There would have to be a sense of place and meanwhile the protagonists would have sexual allure and a hint of mischief. The vibe would be far removed from one which focused on the repetitious and painful monotony of daily life that so many people have to endure. It would be a story of privilege, ambition, vice and sexual tension. That combination always makes for good TV.
These tableaux photographs are always complicated by the introduction of animals into the narrative as they tend not to listen to my instructions. But pictures of Wellington without horses and dogs risk missing key parts of the jigsaw. Beautiful cars are also an integral part of the mix.

Palm Beach Girls
Palm Beach, Florida – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“The corollary of Palm Beach being the most exclusive enclave of wealth and privilege in America, is that it draws in the beautiful people. This is the way it works the world over, but maybe no more so than in Palm Beach. Love, lust and ambition are never too far beneath the surface. This may not be a place of work ethic, but it is a place of desire.
In 1873 a shipwreck brought coconuts to the area leading to the planting of palm and the renaming of the area from Lake Worth Country to Palm Beach. But unfortunately these days there are not so many palm trees on the beaches – the town’s name cannot be taken too literally. But a couple of miles north of the island there are a couple of ideally positioned palms on Riviera Beach that have long grabbed my attention.
The premise of photographing girls on a beach is something that slightly unsettles me. I am not a glamour photographer or indeed a fashion photographer, and it’s hardly a novel place to focus one’s lens. If the key to art is authenticity, the alarm bells start to ring when I walk onto a beach at sunrise with two models.
I needed compositional tightness and the right use of space; this was not a brand commercial and there was a necessity to make sure that we did all we could creatively. The girls understood my directive leaning and this helped enormously.”

Deuce
Palm Beach, Florida – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“There is, of course, a tennis picture from the mid 1970s that adorned the walls of many a teenager’s home or a student’s frat house. Its popularity was not just its cheekiness, but also its simplicity. This was the era of Bjorn Borg and Chris Evert and the sport was very much on the rise in the public’s consciousness. It was the start of an era in which tennis landed an integral role within popular culture and the stars themselves often became sex symbols. Tennis was sexy.
When filming our Palm Beach series, I had been given access to a beautiful home on North Country Drive just north of The Breakers. The property faced the Atlantic and the vast verdant lawns stretching to the beach were of Wimbledon standard. Towering palm trees soared to the sky breaking the symmetry and offered a definite sense of place. This was very clearly the ocean front of Palm Beach; a stretch of land emphatically known for the good things in life. It was a property that offered a complete visual overload.
I saw an opportunity to borrow from that famous old tennis picture and then impose a Palm Beach narrative. The 1970s styling was quite straightforward, but the concept required some wind to lift the tennis player’s skirt in the manner I was hoping for. In time we had our chance and everything else just fell into place.”

The Rules of Golf
Palm Beach, Florida – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“Over the years I have been fortunate enough to tell stories on famous golf courses, whether they be staged period shots at St Andrews, Scotland or the actual dramatic reality of the Masters at Augusta. The Ocean Course at The Breakers may not quite have the global fame of these championship courses, but then again, neither do any other courses in the world.
But the Ocean Course, which dates to 1897, is the oldest golf course in Florida and its attachment to the most storied hotel in Florida, means that it has provenance and currency. The backdrop of the Renaissance revival styled facade of the grand old place immediately locates the course and this is helpful to a storyteller. The Breakers and Palm Beach are tied at the hip.
We are grateful to the owners of the hotel for giving us permission to stage a shoot on the approach to the 18th green and even more grateful that they allowed us to tell a story that played homage to the hotel’s wider facilities. We did not want to be too purist in our creative vision, after all, The Breakers is a place of fun and levity, rather than a place on the PGA’s map of tournament golf.
My idea was simply to tell a tale of the day that the lines got muddied and that one bunker hosted an errant guest. Only in time would she discover that this patch of sand had other uses. Our European models that morning – Frida Aasen and Nadine Leopold – both played their roles immaculately.”

Palm Beach
Palm Beach, Florida – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“Any photographic series on Palm Beach must surely pay homage to its two storied hotels: The Breakers and The Colony. Both landmark locations are tightly woven into the history of this idyllic community and have played host to legendary events. When Slim Aarons talked about “attractive people, doing attractive things in attractive places” he was giving a nod to these celebrated destinations.
From my eye, The Colony is less about what goes on within, whether it be the cocktail parties, the endless poolside conversations or the bingo nights, and more about the emphatic sense of place offered by its storied pink façade. As much as any other hotel in the world, the entrance of The Colony is a microcosm of the community. The coral colour of the colonial style building and the green of the palm trees fuse in that subtle alchemy that is Palm Beach and meanwhile, those who arrive at the hotel are doing so to have fun not work. The Colony is the flag bearer of “Team Palm Beach”.
I stayed at The Colony for a couple of nights before our shoot began and walked the nearby roads deliberating over what to do. The 1947 building is so tall and the entrance roads are so close to the building that it would be difficult to find a spot to celebrate the institution and tell a foreground story.
The idea was solid, but we then had to execute it before the traffic became too steady. Frida Aasen – the Norwegian supermodel – played her role just as I asked and I walked along behind the slowly moving car.
I think this photograph does what I wanted it to do, just as the Colony Hotel does what its guests want it to do”
