The Italian Job (Colour)
Procida, Italy – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
In Roman times, the island of Procida, in the Bay of Naples, became a renowned resort for the patrician class of Rome. Over time, however, industry replaced leisure and Procida became a shipbuilding hub and, at one point in the 18th century, over 17,000 shipbuilders were employed on the tiny island. That compares with a total population today of 10,000.
Shipbuilding faded here in the last century, but it does remain a place of boats – small islands without airports tend to be that way. In the making of Antony and Cleopatra, with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, Cleopatra’s barge was filmed against the timeless harbour in the island. It is very difficult to put an age on any building here, which presumably was why the producers were drawn to Procida and neighbouring Ischia.
The long thin multi coloured harbour is one of the most visually captivating sights in southern Italy. It certainly makes for a good backdrop and my leaning was to film at dusk so that we could add some energy from the house lights in town. This strategy always tests camera capability, and indeed the cameraman, and most of the photographs don’t stack up, but I consider it better than playing safe during normal daylight hours. All you really need is one shot.
Alessandra Ambrosio and the Riva work well together, she has an elegance and allure that Elizabeth Taylor would have appreciated.

Summer Holiday (Colour)
Summer Holiday
Archival Pigment Print
The Grand Hotel Parker’s in Napoli is the city’s oldest luxury hotel dating back to 1870. Its original owner succumbed to gambling issues and, in 1890, it was bought by a regular guest – a British marine biologist called George Parker. Presumably he rather liked the view of the ocean.
Certainly, as hotel views go, Parker’s takes some beating from its balcony floor. There is a perfect outlook to the city, Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples and then, as one’s head turns clockwise to 2 pm, there, in all its splendour, amidst the azure sea, is the fabled island of Capri. We have all seen many contextual photographs of this storied summer paradise, but I had not seen one taken from the mainland at this elevation. I spotted an opportunity.
Alessandra Ambrosio is one of the leading supermodels of her generation and she took to this role at Parker’s with the playful ease that is her hallmark. I thought it would be fun to have her eat pasta. Afterall, we were where we were.
The chefs at Parker’s are lauded and they can make 5-star spaghetti alle vongole blindfold and drunk. That prop was never going to be a challenge. I just needed to find some compositional balance in the frame and a sunbed to complement Capri away in the distance.
This region of Italy is a very special part of the world. The topography, the islands, the sea, the food, the people and the culture combine to offer the perfect holiday. To not find it totally intoxicating suggests a lack of some sort of sensibility, either that, or an allergy to pasta and boats. It is the perfect summer holiday.

GLENCOE, SCOTLAND – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
The entrance to the Glencoe pass in Scotland offers a volcanic amphitheatre in all weather conditions, but at the denouement of a snow storm there is a haunting menace to Buachaille Etive Mor, the cone shaped monolith that rises vertically to the west of the A82. This is a place where many bad things have happened over the years and the rawness of the topography gives a symbolic nod to that. Glencoe is not a place of lavender fields and sun kissed meadows; it is a primeval geological aberration of granite rock.
The pass is one of the most arresting visuals in the UK and I have filmed up here many times over the years. Of course, I am far from alone and the celebrated film director – Sam Mendes – chose Glencoe as a key location for Skyfall in 2012. I am sure his decision was influenced by the fact that the Fleming family has, for four generations, lived in the region and Ian Fleming himself spent many a day in the shooting lodge just 45 miles down the road to Glen Etive. This is most emphatically Bond country.
From the single-track West Highland Way running parallel to the main road, we were able to offer a sense of journey to Bond’s DB5 and the other props came to mind quite naturally. At first light, the red telephone box certainly popped against such a formidable backdrop and we had made sure the lighting inside the box was functional. That made all the difference and we are again reminded that it’s often the small things.
The strongest photographs have an emphatic sense of place and conveying this was acutely necessary to do justice to both the destination and the Bond parody. We did get lucky with the weather and also, I want to thank the Fleming family and the Alba police force for their help with this project. It was not a bad few days to spend in pursuit of my craft.

GLENCOE, SCOTLAND – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
Glencoe offers one of Scotland’s grandest locations, especially at the denouement of a winter storm. This panoramic was taken about 20 minutes after the snow had stopped fallen and clouds still covered the cone shaped volcanic monolith of Buachaille Etive; there is an emphatic sense of place and sense of mood. We were very fortunate to be here in these conditions and we were all very rather humbled by the vista in front of us.
This is the celebrated gateway to the Scottish Highlands and a land known not just for its natural beauty, but for its bloody past, particularly the Clan feuds between the MacDonalds and the Campbells. The drive through Glencoe encourages a silent historical musing as intense as any road I know in the world. Shit happened here.
But there is also an untamed regality to the region that has long drawnfilmmakers and, of course, this goes full circle, as this remote part of the world has long been associated with the Fleming family and particularly Ian Fleming – the creator of James Bond. He lived here before moving to Jamaica in 1946.
A pivotal sequence in the 2012 Bond movie “Skyfall” was shot on the road down from the A82 to what was Ian Fleming’s nephew’s shooting lodge – Dalness. The location was well chosen and all those that are drawn to the mournful beauty of Scotland, appreciated the subtle alchemy between Bond’s DB5 and the quintessential Highland topography. I doubt any other Bond location has as many daily visitors as that Glen Etive Road.
This photograph was taken near the entrance to that road on the West Highland Way. We had watched the weather forecast every day for 10 daysbefore the shoot and not in our wildest dreams did we ever expect the light and the snow cover to be this kind to us. We still had to move quickly with the props and I had to find compositional balance in my frame, but the weather was the transcending component. We were back at Dalness for breakfast.
This photograph is personal. Scotland is my home and I think we did Glencoe proud. No wonder Sam Mendes chose to shoot here in the Skyfall movie and the truth is that we got luckier than him with the weather.
I would like to thank the Alba Police force and Phil Fleming for their help in making this shoot happen.

The Home of Bond
GLENCOE, SCOTLAND – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
Ian Fleming – the creator of James Bond – was the grandson of Scottish financier Robert Fleming, who was a material landowner in the Highlands. One of the most coveted estates in the family was Dalness in Glen Etive, near Glencoe. Before WW2, Ian Fleming spent many days in this most dramatic of locations and this did not escape the attention of British Director Sam Mendes, who used the very same estate and glen as the location for the climax of his 2012 Bond movie – Skyfall. This is Scotland at its untamed best.
The road off the A82 from Glencoe to Dalness attracts camera heavy tourists, in part because of its volcanic beauty, but also because of Skyfall. I was keen to use the exact location where Daniel Craig and Judi Dench had a moment of reflection outside his parked Aston Martin DB5. After that, all hell broke loose.
With the help of the Alba traffic department of the Scottish Police, we were able to secure permits to briefly close the road. We were fortunate with the weather; this is not a blue-sky place and ideally, we wanted some snow and a hint of menace in the sky. There is a mournful beauty to the highlands that is visually compatible with flat light and low cloud. The sky falls low in Scotland. This was a personal shoot for me given my heritage and my early childhood memories of skiing in Glencoe. Every shoot matters, but this one had an edge. The crew all stayed at Dalness and I think that put us in the right spiritual zone to do justice to Ian Fleming.
I want to thank the Fleming family, Torquil McAlpine and Alba for their support and help with this project.

Capri (Colour)
Capri, Italy – 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“La Fontelina is the most celebrated beach club on the most fabled holiday island in the world. On that basis, it must be a special place and indeed it is. Nestling in the rocks and sea pools in front of the Faraglioni sea stacks, it casts an immediate visual spell on any visitor. If the protagonists in Game of Thrones had a favoured place to eat, it would be located here.
I had not been to La Fontelina before 2024 because I had never been to Capri, but on my first visual exposure to the venue, I recognised that it was aesthetically without equal.
Doing a photo shoot here requires many skills in addition to those employed when operating a camera. Most crucially, I needed to win the support of the owners Gaetano and Mario Gargiulo. Their generational success story meant that they needed neither a cash backhander nor some lame pictures for their Instagram account. Every day throughout the European summer they run and own one of the hottest tickets and they rightly focus on the constancy of excellence in their service rather than catering to film makers.
I met Gaetona first as a customer and then it became my sole purpose in life to win him over and let me shoot a DY typical tableaux at his most beautiful club. Capri is to Neapolitans what the Hamptons is to New Yorkers and I hoped I had one trick – my image of Diego Maradona from Mexico 1986 – up my sleeve. Maradona is adored in Naples for bringing the local club the league title in 1987 and I figured that a gift or two of my well-known image could help my cause. I was right – and yet again I owe Diego.
And so it was, early one morning this summer, I assembled a cast in La Fontelina. I knew the deck chair formations and the movement of the sun long before that day, as this was not a shoot to make mistakes on. I had sensed some empty space in front of the southerly stack and worked with local fisherman to sort that out, but I was also conscious of the need to fully showcase the famous parasols without blocking any of the leads. The scene was choreographed for those with familiarity and I was conscious of the need to elicit rich memories.
In my mind a photographic tableaux is all about the space between the people and the props and La Fontelina certainly gives you every chance. I like this photograph a great deal, but I care more that Gaetona and Mario want to hang it on their rustic wall at La Fontelina in time for next season. That is really all the matters to me, as it may mean I have a chance of getting a table.
