Being John McEnroe (B&W)
JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING – 2025
“The Silver Dollar Saloon at the Wort Hotel in Jackson Hole is a celebrated institution. There are quite a few bars scattered across the US sharing the same name, but I doubt many share the vice like grip that this venue holds over the local community.
I sat with the GM over Thanksgiving lunch in 2025 and he told me that they would hope to do 650 covers that day. That is a material operation, not the numbers of a poorly operated dive bar. There are no central archetypes at the Silver Dollar – it seems to play host to anyone living in the zip code and that makes for a rich visual feast. There are, however, more cowboy hats here than in a Parisian cafe.
The lead feature of the saloon is a neon illuminated winding bar which incorporates over 2,000 silver dollar coins into its resin surface – it’s part disco, part Lonesome Dove and it should not work aesthetically and yet it emphatically does. It was clearly the central prop around which to build this carefully staged vignette.
My central character for this set was the unique national treasure that is John McEnroe – musician, tennis legend, commentator, artist and general badass. John cannot really be pigeonholed into a convenient silo but give him a Gibson guitar and a cowboy hat and he looks much more at home here in the heart of the American West than he ever did at Wimbledon.
We had fun with the set dressing; I wanted a few nods to his presence in the bar which all added to the parody. I think an evening unfolding like this is entirely plausible at the Silver Dollar.”

Ferrari (Colour)
Amboy, California – 2023
Archival Pigment Print
“In the 1950s, the Californian Dream made Route 66 the most famous road in the world. “The Mother Road”, as John Steinbeck described it in The Grapes of Wrath, became the route of flight for the American Middle Class; a trend accelerated by the rapidly evolving Californian economy and the opening of Disneyland in 1955.
The stretch of road heading east near Amboy in the baking Californian desert showcases the Route 66 journey as it once was. The sense of scale offers the filmmaker a valuable tool kit and I have been drawn to this outpost for many years. It is a commitment of time to get there, but one that many road trippers make because of the iconic Roy’s Motel and Cafe which serves as the one identifiable landmark in a barren desert.
Amboy is a known known and I worried how I could break new ground because like all spectacular vistas in the US, it has been well photographed. The challenge is not in getting there, but in transcending when one does.
I called upon a Hong Kong friend who is a passionate investor in vintage cars and owns one of the most lauded and valuable collections in the world. I explained the shoot concept and he graciously offered up one his most coveted treasures – the 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Vignale Spider. It was one of only 12 built in the world and when one comes up at auction, they sell for more than a London townhouse. His team was kind enough to transport this fabled Ferrari 1,000 miles across the country, but at least when they arrived, they understood the opportunity. It was going to be a trip well made.
The design of the Ferrari was perfect as its low windscreen allowed my lens direct access into the faces of the girl (the wonderful Daniela Braga) and the wolf. They could then hold centre stage and let all the other constituent parts play off each other.
The goal of this shoot was to play on the metaphor that is Route 66. It encapsulates the American Dream, as it was the road of freedom and ambition. Go West, work hard, stay focused and enjoy the very best of lives.
We styled to the mid 1950s and I told Daniela to exude a sense of positivity. She should look, as Nat King Cole suggested, that she was “Getting her Kicks on Route 66”.
Hard not to in that Ferrari.”

The Dogs of Palm Beach
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA – 2025
“Exclusive Members Clubs are part of the fabric of Palm Beach. Gaining membership of institutions such as The Everglades, The Beach Club and Mar-a-Lago is a bridge too far for most and patience and good connections are key. It is not a money thing, because those without resources would not be in the vicinity anyway.
A new club came to the heart of Palm Beach recently called Carriage House. It was unusual in that gaining membership did not afford access to golf, tennis, pickleball or even a swimming pool with lunchtime dining. The reason is that Carriage House only opens when it is dark outside. The sport is in the cocktail bar.
I was invited by some kind members before Christmas and it struck me as a very promising concept. Drinking is encouraged and, on balance, the men seemed to be slightly older than the women. Perhaps by a generation. There is unity in the sartorial elegance but a whiff of mischief to the whole place. The dress code is stricter than the behaviour code.
There are a few old dogs knocking around for joint and they come with some history for sure, but that seems to matter little. Everyone is allowed a second or third chance in Palm Beach.
We are very grateful to the owners of Carriage House for allowing us to film in their bar. We recognise that this access is not normally accorded to non-members, be they human or canine.”

The White Lady (Colour)
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025
“There is not much I would change with this photograph – it all came together in cold winter light looking out to the much-loved Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park. I am not the first photographer to be drawn to the almost perfect symmetry and grandeur of this 12,000-foot-tall mountain and I won’t be the last.
The foreground had to have some punch and I think the combination of Josie Canseco and her travel companion in a 1953 Ferrari pushes a few boundaries. There is much to look at.
It was, however, the weather that made the shot. I needed fresh snow and a clear morning sky; without one or the other, there was no picture to be taken. The light becomes increasingly less kind on a sunny day and we knew that it would all be over by 8 am at the latest. The window of opportunity is less than 30 minutes.
During our week in Jackson, we had low sky and suboptimal light for 95% of the time. But we had one morning of clear sky and we took our chance. It was luck really, but I think we leveraged what we were given and that ultimately is the acid test. This image is now in the bag forever and that’s something to celebrate.
For those with a visual sensibility, The Tetons set a high bar; there is no mountain range in the Americas I would prefer as a backdrop and the Snake River Valley below offers so much opportunity to build stories. It is an amphitheater that demands a filmmaker’s A game – to be mundane or vanilla would be embarrassing.“

The Usual Suspects II
Montana – 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“The first time that I set foot in Montana, I knew I was in a very special place. It was not just the majesty of the scenery, it was the characters that lived there. I have long had a visceral attraction to the Wild West and no state embodies the final frontier of America more than Montana. In the hills in the winter, there is a sense of timelessness. The clock seemingly broke about 100 years ago.
Over the last few years we have been fairly relentless networking up in a village in the mountains. I have been there 7 times and we have invested emotionally as well as financially in order to be able to tell stories with the camera. This week – on Robbie Burns night – appropriately enough – we had our reward. There was no point attempting this without a solid base of locals that genuinely wanted to help.
I know this bar in the mountains inside out and the locals know me. Everyone wanted a role in the shoot, but we had to be selective. I wanted ex-convicts, wolf wranglers, wannabe Davey Crocketts and crazy old mountain men that are drunk by 11 am. But it needed more – the barmaid had to have the right look – as she would be pivotal to the image – as would the chosen mountain man. It would be a key juxtaposition. I found the girl – Roxanna Redfoot (what a name) – from Dallas and she was brilliant.
The wolf I could rely on – I have worked with him before and so long as he doesn’t tire I had a chance. But there is no light in the bar – so it as all seat-of-the-pants stuff technically – there was no margin for error in focus. A flash gun would destroy the emotion and sense of place.
As I expected, most of the photographs were not sharp or someone messed up (including me). The composition was always however bang on. I just needed one stroke of luck – 1 / 125th of a second that would capture Montana. I think we nailed it!
“The Usual Suspects”…indeed.”

Once Upon a Time in America (Colour)
Brooklyn, New York City – 2025
Once Upon a Time in America
“This is a good picture of an outstanding team and I think that the combination is powerful enough to allow it to transcend as a piece of sporting memorabilia. Time will tell, but my early sense is that it could become one of the most coveted pictures of my career. There is an old platitude that the best photographs tend to unfold when good stuff is in front of the lens and this single frame endorses that principle. The true essence of being a team is played out against the most emphatic sense of place conceivable.
When I look at the image – as I do every day – I just can’t help smiling; perhaps in recognition that the months of logistical planning were rewarded and also because the weather at Brooklyn that appointed morning was generous to us. There was no Plan B.
Above that, I feel the investment and thought that went into the dressing of the players, the captain and vice captains and caddies paid great dividends. We cut no corners in the individual stylings and consequently everyone was invested in the end result. You win the caddies over and you win the crowd. I want to thank Nicole Allowitz and her styling team for their talent and care.
But most of all, I recognise the extreme privilege of knowing every single member in this extraordinary collective of people. History will remind us that they unequivocally proved that in the best teams, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Everyone in this picture had earned the right to be at Bethpage and I sensed, from the moment we gathered in New York 10 days before the tournament, that there was a cohesive vibe that united and glued them together. Egos were long left behind and that is the hallmark of a captain as strong as Luke Donald.
To win the Ryder Cup away from home is empirically tough. This European Team achieved that, but they did so in the daunting bearpit of New York and that surely gives the story added weight.
Once upon a time in America ….
Monies from the sales of this print will be deployed to causes close to the hearts of everyone that made this picture possible. It was a proud moment in my journey as an artist.”

Daylight Robbery (B&W)
Bryson City, North Carolina – 2025
“A year ago, in October, we filmed in this same field in North Carolina with the same train and the end photograph worked well. There are inherent dangers in returning to the same location if the narrative has not evolved, but at least we had a good year to think about it. If we revisit somewhere, my goals tend to be loftier than before, as we never want to regress creatively.
The first alteration we made was to embrace the colors of the fall and this meant waiting for the first overnight frosts to golden the trees and give our backdrop some proper seasonal glory. So we planned our trip to the Smoky Mountains at the end of October, rather than the middle; we all know 10 days can make a huge difference in the colors of the fall.
It was wet, cold and a bit bleak but that is more appropriate weather for the scenes we were shooting than balmy sunshine. Flat light can be a photographer’s great friend in scenes like this, so long as the rain holds off.
The second addition was to bring in a horse and rider to run alongside the steam train. This is not a job for part time cowboys as the steam and the smoke from the train are uncertain variables for a horse. Ty Mitchell is an old hand at this kind of stuff; Martin Scorsese cast him as the bad guy in Killers of the Flower Moon and he is certainly a bad ass dude.
Ty is as good and game as they come, but even he fell off his horse shooting this sequence; the first time I have seen him do that in our six-year friendship. Huge respect to him for just getting up and giving it another go.
The result is a strong picture with enough layers to tell a full story. I had props at my disposal for the concept to have potential, but the execution here was a little harder than most. But all you need is one good cowboy and one good frame, and eventually we got it.”
