Willow Springs, California – 2025

“In the old days I liked to be as close to the ground as possible when filming wildlife as it served to glorify the animal and, at the margin, it also allowed for a little more immersion for the viewer. It became very much my signature style in the field to offer the visual perspective of a small ant.
I don’t see why the approach should be that different when filming a 1957 Porsche Speedster. It has an aesthetic beauty that needs to be showcased and a ground up perspective also highlights the dust being kicked up from behind the car. Dust is always best captured using strong back light and this does present tonal range challenges to our printers. Luckily, we have the best craftsmen in our studio who can bring out the shadow detail without losing the detail in the highlights. It is a different craft to being a photographer.
The talent on this shot came from the very top drawer – Jimmie Johnson – the most decorated of NASCAR drivers, is behind the wheel of the Speedster, whilst supermodel Shanina Shaik is the lady theatrically acknowledging his victory. Both Jimmie and Shanina enjoyed themselves that morning at Willow Springs racetrack in California and I think it shows. From my own selfish perspective, Jimmie had to focus slightly on slowing down before he ran me over and I guess he could be forgiven for having his eyes elsewhere.

Willow Springs, California – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“The compositional structure and mood of this tableaux reminds me of the album covers of British rock bands in the 1980s. Everyone is acting all serious and tough but in reality, they are having a complete blast in the spring sunshine.
The assembled cast took my directive well. I simply told them that motor racing was a competitive bad ass business and there was no room for jocularity when speed and precision were required to transcend and when one mistake could be life threatening. It pays to be serious and look serious.
We certainly had an A list of props that late afternoon in Willow Springs, California. For starters we had the unmodernised track that featured in some of the sets from Ford v Ferrari and then in the Ferrari hot seat, we had managed to source a driver who looks the spitting image of Christian Bale’s character in the movie. We then threw in two top models from LA as Ferrari pit girls and then, of course, a stunning vintage Ferrari from the 1950s. Some college kids from USC and appropriately dressed friends from West Hollywood then added flavour to the background narrative.
I want to thank Sam Byrne and his team at CrossHarbor Capital for believing in our creative processing and making this project possible.”

Ford vs Ferrari
Willow Springs, California – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“This 1952 Ferrari Inter Barchetta was loaned to my team by the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles and it has had some proper history; it was originally gifted to Henry Ford II by Enzo Ferrari. Ford only kept the car for a few years, apparently long enough for it to influence the styling of Ford Motor Company’s 1955 Thunderbird.
This corporate mischief was a prelude to a far greater drama 10 years later. Henry Ford II’s passion for car racing drove his ambition for Ford Motor Company to start competing in races and he also knew that Ford needed a marketing boost in the face of slipping sales and stiff competition from GM, especially when it came to attracting younger buyers. The only problem was, Ford didn’t have a sports racing car in its fleet.
So, in 1963, Henry Ford II (the grandson and namesake of the company’s founder) decided that the quickest way to get Ford on the racetrack would be to try to buy Ferrari. They offered $10m, but with such stifling conditions on racing budgets that Enzo Ferrari did not like, that he leveraged the Ford approach to do a deal with Fiat.
Shanina Shaik was not in Ford v Ferrari but perhaps she should have been. We wanted to style her with artistic license and to pay homage to the car and racetrack.
I want to thank Sam Bryne and his outstanding team at Cross Harbour Capital for making all this happen.”

Midnight Express
Durango, Colorado – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“Shooting a late 19th century steam engine at night, in a dimly lit Colorado depot, was a fresh challenge, but our default strategy is to be wary of comfort zones. We often fail in new ideas, but better that than never to try.
Camera capability in low light has evolved constantly since the beginning of my career but employing slow shutter speeds when filming moving subjects is still as bad a combination as it has always been. The maths has not changed and it remains a low percentage gig.
The bonus of shooting at night in a location like this is that the stark lighting not only adds drama, it allows for unwelcome distractions to be too dark for the eye to see. The rich blacks suit train stations and many of the great movie sets in such locations have been filmed at night, no more so than with Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.
The cowboy and the iron horse were unlikely bedfellows in the push west and most of the time they enabled each other and collaborated. But in the loosely governed final frontier, there were no certainties and danger lurked at every stopping point. I wanted to evoke not only the sense of journey but also the implicit danger. To travel in this era was to engage with the random walk of luck.”

The Robbers
Durango, Colorado – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“We know this dramatic stretch of train track in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado as intimately as any stretch of railway in the world. I think I know it better than my train journey in the UK between London and our home in Devon. Over the years this familiarity has allowed us to fully commit to our craft.
Nothing is possible without the support of the owners of the steam train and the narrow-gauge railroad; the management and then the train drivers themselves. It is a team effort and each year the level of mutual trust has circled upwards and allowed us to push boundaries creatively. We choose to film here in the winter, as low temperatures help with the breadth of visuals.
When the pressured steam is trapped between the engine and the towering escarpment, it can only escape upwards and climb the cliff face. At 7000 ft in the winter, the steam will then fall back to earth as sleet or snow. There is then the possibility that at this most dramatic of settings, the train is just a bit part in a chaotic and otherworldly scene of ice, snow, steam and smoke. We have learnt how to momentarily create a little bit of hell high up in this formidable canyon and who better to bring into this narrative than a couple of uncompromising train robbers.
Our particular thanks to Al Harper, Jeff Johnson and Russell Heerdt of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.”

Trainspotting
Durango, Colorado – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“In 1860, a group of prospectors ventured into the San Juan Mountains seeking riches. They discovered gold and silver deposits along the Animas River, naming the area “Baker’s Park”. Despite news of the discovery spreading, the Civil War, and the fact that the land belonged to the Ute Indians, delayed miners from returning until the early 1870s.
But in 1874, Silverton’s town site was established, quickly becoming the hub of numerous mining camps. Alongside miners, the town attracted the attention of a Denver railroad company with the ambition to build a track up this formidable canyon.
Eight years later, the inaugural train from Durango, operated by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, arrived in Silverton. This extraordinary achievement was a testimony to the ability of 19th century engineers. By 1883, Silverton boasted a population of 2,000, featuring 400 buildings, including two banks, five laundries, 29 saloons, hotels, and the notorious red-light district, Blair Street.
The beauty and grandeur of the canyon up to Silverton makes the railroad one of the world’s great visual treats.
In this shot, we staged a robbery high up in the canyon. We know our angles and our lighting and we know the cowboys we can trust on top of that historic train.”

Twin Peaks (Colour)
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025

“I want to thank American supermodel – Brooks Nader – for playing to my narrative that freezing January morning beneath the Tetons. She is very game; in fact, she may well serve as my enabler. Not many girls we work with could pull off that look in those temperatures. The Devil may well wear Prada, but Brooks wears very little, even when it is hellishly cold.
If the town of Zermatt in Switzerland has the Matterhorn, then Jackson Hole has the Tetons. Both communities stand guarded by Twin Peaks mountains so dramatically grand that there is an extra sense of excitement on arrival. To land at Jackson Hole airport on a clear day is a thrill, even for the most travel weary of passengers; there is as pronounced a visual overload as there is at any airport in America. When I think about the town of Jackson, I find it impossible not to think about the Tetons. To me they are coupled at the hip.
Grand Teton, at 13,775 feet, is the highest point of the Teton Range and it rises steeply from the valley floor 7,000 feet below. The amphitheatre has offered a great canvas for photographers to tell stories since the invention of the camera and we always work here fully aware that we are on well-trodden ground.

“On a clear day after a storm, there are few better places in which to get a camera out than Jackson Hole. In the first few minutes of full light in the valley floor, there is a chance to allow the camera to work to its full capability. There is decent depth of field without the light being too garish, but for every minute that passes, the light becomes harsher. Within 30 minutes the opportunity has gone.
