Such mesmerising portraits… 😍 "It’s easy to see why fans relate to Wood: never mind the dazzling prettiness, she’s sparky, warm and expressive". Full article here.
Phil Fisk shoots 27 year old singer/songwriter, the awesome Ray BLK for OBSERVER. Born Rita Ekwere in Nigeria in 1994, she moved to London aged four and was raised in Catford, south-east London. Her forthcoming debut album ACCESS DENIED, features collaborations with some of UK rap’s leading names, from Stefflon Don to Kojey Radical to Giggs.
Chris Floyd spent an afternoon shooting the delightfully frank and formidable ANNE ROBINSON, described variously as 'the queen of mean', 'the oldest woman on TV who's not judging cakes' (her own words!) - and being 'as warm as Maleficent' in her new debut as host of Channel 4's Countdown.
"I'm lazy and my procrastination is epic"... Chris Floyd shoots meditating comedian SINDHU VEE with her blind French bulldog BOWLER for IDLER.
Chris Floyd photographed journalist and news anchor VICTORIA DERBYSHIRE for YOU Magazine. She has made it a mission to speak out about her experience of domestic abuse and breast cancer, and "why living through the worst of times has made her determined never to be angry".

& here's a link to a short film captured behind the scenes on the shoot day.
Chris Floyd shoots Harry Potter star turned novelist, artist, comedian and mother… the amazing JESSIE CAVE for IDLER.
Chris was keen to capture scenes, ”from inside his head… A solipsistic, melancholic and ethereal character from a movie length edition of a mid 70s episode of Columbo. Or maybe ‘Murder She Wrote’. “
Jessie, “once again, wanted to wear a subtle outfit and create a pose that screamed “SERIOUS NOVELIST”.”
Here are the resulting images… 💜💚💛💙
Phil Fisk shoots Royal Ballet choreographer Wayne McGregor for Observer.
“Famed for his cerebral experimentation and edgy imagination… he had no access to elite ballet schools growing up. But he did have John Travolta and disco to spark a lifelong obsession.”
He “has spoken of dance in iconoclastic ways: as an opportunity to “misbehave beautifully”…
What a wonderful concept!!
Such beautiful shots too :)
Delighted to share this stunning publication featuring images from the "knitted camouflage" collaborative project between Joseph Ford and creative knitter, Nina Dodd.
"L'ART DU FIL" is a sumptuous collection of colourful and richly textured textile art and is available in all good bookshops.
Huge thanks to Marie-Madeleine Massé and @editionsalternatives for featuring the work, and to @ninadoddknits for the amazing creative collaborations, as always 🍉 🧶 💚💛❤️
CHRIS FLOYD shoots the awesome MARCUS RASHFORD for the June issue of MEN'S HEALTH.
"Over the past year, the professional footballer and activist has successfully pressured the UK government to change its policy on free school meals, become the third youngest Manchester United player to score 50 Premier League goals, been appointed England Captain and awarded an OBE".
In Chris's words...
"Marcus manages to reconcile personal ambition and social conscience with ease. This is a man who combines drive with humility, activism with politesse. Everyone likes Marcus Rashford. Because he's authentic. I also counted about 20 knackered old footballs in his garden, in hedges, behind fences and one even impaled on a shed roof. Just like you and me."
