Chris Floyd - Idler / Vic Reeves
Chris shoots Vic Reeves at his home studio in Kent for The Idler Magazine.
"Although when you're in his home studio you don't call him Vic. You call him Jim because Jim's his real name. Jim Moir, like Goya".
Jim has just produced a new book called Vic Reeves Art Book, a sumptuous compendium of his drawings and paintings from the last two or three years.
Full article here. The book is available from all good bookshops.
Chris Floyd - SKYArts / ICON
We are super excited to announce that both CHRIS FLOYD and his photography will feature in a 6-part series “Icon: Music Through the Lens”, described as a“rollercoaster ride through the rich history and cultural impact of music photography”, showing on SKYArts from November 2020.
in Chris’ own words…
“I’m blown away to have me and my work featured in this massive 6-part series on the story of music photography, alongside these icons of the game, many of whose work I gazed on with obsession as a younger photographer. As Baron Wolman puts it so eloquently here, “it’s the fuckin’ best job in the world.”
and it’s definitely ONE TO WATCH!!
Chris Floyd - Stylist / Sian Clifford, Sharon Horgan and Waad al-Kateab
A few months ago CHRIS FLOYD captured portraits of SIAN CLIFFORD, SHARON HORGAN and WAAD AL KATEAB for the STYLIST / REMARKABLE WOMEN AWARDS.
CHRIS spent a memorable afternoon on shoot having “a complete laugh with this lady and her massive cake!”… aka SHARON HORGAN, actor and Bafta-winning writer behind razor sharp comedies such as Catastrophe, Motherland and Divorce.
SIAN CLIFFORD, aka Fleabag’s sister Claire, recently played Diana Ingram in ‘Quiz’, the terrific 3-parter on ITV.
For five years WAAD AL-KATEAB filmed the conflict in the Syrian city of Aleppo for her feature documentary ‘FOR SAMA’ which has received numerous awards including the Prix L’Œil d’Or for Best Documentary at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary at the SXSW Film Festival, and the Special Jury Prize for International Feature Documentary at the Hot Docs Festival. It is a deeply powerful film and “a rare first hand account of war, from a strictly female perspective”.

In November 2019, JASON WILLIAMSON and ANDREW FEARN of SLEAFORD MODS asked CHRIS FLOYD to make a film about their biggest gig to date at Hammersmith Apollo (or Odeon, depending on when you came of gig-going age).
In these times it feels rather surreal to see crowds of people in such close proximity to each other, which makes the footage and the performance all the more compelling viewing...
Here's the footage of the band performing 'TWEET TWEET TWEET'!

Styling by Helen Atkin.
