Main Street Park City (Colour)
In June 1898, fire broke out at the American Hotel at the top of Main Street, Park City and with strong winds blowing from the east, the fire quickly spread from building to building. It was thought that a drunken guest knocked over a lamp and that one moment destroyed a whole community.
At the time, the silver, lead and zinc discovered in the nearby mountains had driven hundreds of prospectors to this once small Utah settlement. The city’s population had risen rapidly to over 10,000 and Main Street was a boom street that included boarding houses, saloons, theaters, and stables. The fire put paid to that street at a time of peak activity down the mines.
But Main Street was rebuilt quickly; there was no other way and the city has retained its look as a picturesque, nineteenth century mining town. The one road is now home to over 200 separate businesses, including the lauded No Name Saloon which is close to the site of the old American Hotel.
We were filming in the No Name when a winter storm started to bombard Main Street. It seemed as good an opportunity as any to pay homage to one of the great streets in the West. We also had a bison in town and it seemed to make sense to include him in the narrative. Afterall, this is the Wild West and anything goes.
Park City has, of course, become a year-round recreational haven, but its soul remains in the past. It was a boom mining town. This picture is a nod to those days.

Grumpy Monkey
The Snow Monkeys three hours west of Tokyo are accessible even in winter and it is difficult to capture fresh detail. This picture, on a bleak and cold winter’s day, probably works because everything about it is miserable to the point of being comical. The misty and dank weather matches the Snow Monkey’s mood. I had no light to play with and this is technically reflected in the lack of depth of focus. I am flattered that so many people adore this picture – maybe it says a little bit about us?

Manhattan, New York – 2026
“I was on duty at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, when forecasts of a massive cross-state winter storm started to hit TV channels. The storm would stretch North East all the way from Texas to Boston and what particularly interested me was the expectation of a foot of snow in one day in New York City.
I had always wanted to photograph Manhattan in an intense blizzard and the fortunate news was the storm was going to land on a Sunday when most public areas would be light of working people. Anyone sensible or anyone following the new Mayor’s advice would not be leaving home.
I am familiar with the area immediately outside the NYSE building, having filmed there before and recognised its visual potential in a white out. I had just enough time to organise our “wolf ” and his handlers to get up from California, but speaking engagements restricted me to flying in on the red eye on Saturday night and hoping to arrive before JFK shut.
As it was, I made it from Salt Lake City with a couple of hours to spare and then, as predicted, the city was hit with the biggest one-day snowfall since 1905. These are the opportunities we long for and thanks to quick thinking and good logistical back up from my team, I was exactly where I needed to be. This was about to be an historic day in the epicentre of the world.
By about 11am, snow was accumulating at 2 inches an hour and filming a subject further than 3 feet from the camera was challenging. However, the composition I was looking for would necessitate the wolf being very close and then working with my most extreme wide-angle lens. My preference was for the wolf ’s face to be caked in snow and the conditions guaranteed that.
A bonus was that the extreme cold served to amplify the steam escaping through one of the nearby maintenance holes. This added to the visual depth of a New York story and I knew I could use the steam to my advantage.
What a morning, and huge thanks to my friend – the Texan model Holly Graves – who entered this winter wonderland with all the energy and enthusiasm that I have come to expect from her. It was not a day for precious people; it was a day for those with a visceral commitment to their craft.”

25 Degrees Below (B&W)
25 Degrees Below (B&W)
Yellowstone National Park – 2026
“Very cold temperatures are required for a bison to morph into a primeval winter monster, but on the mornings when this transformation is acute, it is a visual treat. There is a sense of trespassing into an untamed land of ice and fire.
The effect is most pronounced in the geyser fields of Yellowstone National Park where the steam will freeze on whatever is nearby. As informed locals will testify, these days are fewer than they used to be, but on this morning, it was about 25 degrees below zero, which is enough for the magic to unfold.
Of course, finding a bison to work with in these conditions is not a given and we have often failed simply because the lead talent has been nowhere accessible. Geysers are dangerous and quite rightly there are many no-go areas in Yellowstone. To dissolve would be a harrowing death and it has, of course, happened to both bison and cavalier visitors to the National Park.
This portrait is sharp and looks at its best when it is at least life size. The abstract granularity of the bison’s iced fur elevates the photograph. I don’t think I have ever encountered as white a bison as this and I left the park with a sense of mission accomplished.”

Yellowstone National Park – 2026
“Bison have roamed in Yellowstone National Park since Prehistoric times; indeed they thrived in an Ice Age that claimed both the mammoth and the horse. That is why I am drawn to Yellowstone in the winter as it is their stoicism in extreme weather that defines them.
This photograph is certainly up there for me, so many variables came together at 25 degrees below zero in the Flood Geyser section of the Park. Finding a large frost caked bull bison early in the morning is always a good start, but then to find him close to geysers is a bonus.
These geysers normally omit a steady flow of gentle steam – a bit like an outdoor hot tub in a luxury ski resort – and when I gingerly approached the bull, that was my contextual background. Nothing too dramatic, but the steam evoked a sense of occasional geological activity and gave an emphatic nod to the location. There is a restlessness to the mood.
But then after three minutes lying on the frozen ground, the geyser in front of me erupted, spewing water and steam 100 meters into the air. To give this context, the spectacle doesn’t happen every day and, on this occasion, the early sun was offering a generous level of backlight and the bison and I had front row seats. It was my very own Field of Dreams, albeit a little troubling as I had no prior knowledge of the radius of the thermal water. I relied on the bison as he had better info and seemed quite calm.
I care so much about the background layer in my work; it is pivotal to the art of storytelling. Sometimes it is entirely in our control, but on this occasion, it was a pure stroke of luck. Arguably, I have never worked with a more spectacular backdrop in my career. It was akin to a Game of Thrones mood board.
We are left with a timeless freak of a photograph that pays homage to the raw wonders of this planet. It is primeval to its core and a celebration of one of the most untamed parts of the world. It was an honour to see it all unfold on my own at 8.15am that January morning. I am reminded again that “the early bird catches the worm”.
