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
Archival Pigment Print
“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.

The Ice Monster (Colour)
Yellowstone National Park – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“There are only so many days in the winter when the morning weather conditions in Yellowstone allow a bull bison to involuntarily morph into a primeval ice monster. The morning must be exceptionally cold (certainly below minus 10º F) to allow the steam rising from the thermal springs and rivers to ice cake all matter nearby, including bison. There are fewer days like this in the National Park than there used to be.
The complication is that the exceptionally cold days tend to be clear, high-pressure days and we must therefore find the bison before the sun takes hold of the light.
This is therefore a low percentage quest in a tightly regulated National Park and we have failed on so many occasions. Often I have not taken my camera out of the car.
This photograph is therefore special to me. The bull is helpfully big and his iced head is as visually powerful as I could have hoped for. The premise was to try and capture transcending textural detail and that meant being as close as permitted by Yellowstone rules and then having the best lens for the job.

American Primeval
Yellowstone National Park – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
“There is just enough movement in this ice monster’s front feet to offer a sense of menace. Whilst I felt in no immediate danger, and was in full compliance with Yellowstone’s safety guidelines, this was a big bull and his ice coat made him a formidable presence.
There are only so many days in the winter when the morning weather conditions in Yellowstone allow a bull bison to involuntarily morph into a primeval ice monster. The morning must be exceptionally cold (certainly below minus 10º F) to allow the steam rising from the thermal springs and rivers to ice cake all matter nearby, including bison. There are fewer days like this in the National Park than there used to be.
The complication is that the exceptionally cold days tend to be clear, high-pressure days and we must therefore find the bison before the sun takes hold of the light.
This is a mythological beast of great presence and power and to be in his company was rather surreal. By 10 am, he was presumably back to being a normal bison, albeit a large one, but by then we had long gone and were warming ourselves up in a frontier town saloon bar and convincing ourselves that we had not just gate crashed a Game of Thrones set.”
