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."

LA VITA BELLA...
Late last summer CHRIS FLOYD took a trip to Portofino, the jewel of the Italian Riviera, to shoot with JACK SAVORETTI for his new album, EUROPIANA.
In Chris's words...
"Jack spent all his childhood summers in Portfino and the whole vibe of the album is a quest to recapture that feeling you had in your younger years when the summers never seemed to end and the thrill and excitement of going out, dancing and meeting new people was wide open and there for the taking."
* More music, images and artwork to be released over the coming months
