"At the end of this year, Snow will leave ITN after 45 years – he has been the main presenter of Channel 4 News, which ITN produces, since 1989".
He talks about becoming a father again at 74 and being thought of as ‘a mad, bonkers, lefty oddity’.

PHIL FISK shoots one of the most revered actors of his generation, the awesome BRIAN COX at his London home for OBSERVER.
With a distinguished career filled with compelling stage and screen performances, Cox stars in the hit HBO drama SUCCESSION, described as "the most thrilling and beautifully obscene TV there is"! He was awarded Best Actor in the 2020 Golden Globe Awards for his portrayal of the bullish Logan.
Of the portraits, taken outside in the midday sun, Phil said, “what looks like anger is in fact a jocular manner and an expressive physicality.”
Intense!
It was a delight to collaborate with the team at SKY Creative and help bring their concepts to life.
Phil photographed the city locations and also worked directly with the team at the Temple set. The location was cold but the energy levels were high and the cast were all totally and utterly brilliant - including the awesome Mark Strong, Daniel Mays, Catherine McCormac and Lily Newmark.
Such a fantastic shoot, we love working with the SKY team ✨
Captured in her garden by PHIL FISK for OBSERVER is the amazingly talented FLORENCE KNIGHT… one of 3 female writers who Phil had the privilege to photograph and chat to this year.
Florence is also a chef, columnist and the creator of the wonderful restaurant POLPETTO in London. She now leads the kitchen at @sessionsartsclub, an upcoming restaurant in Clerkenwell which she runs alongside St. John co-founder Jon Spiteri, and world-renowned painter Jonny Gent.
The portrait accompanied an article about seasonal summer recipes and the English weather (for once!) decided to work with us on the idea.

Jessie, “once again, wanted to wear a subtle outfit and create a pose that screamed “SERIOUS NOVELIST”.”
Here are the resulting images… 💜💚💛💙

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."
See Chris's cover and the full article here.
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
Joseph was commissioned by London agency MIND+MATTER to shoot a safety campaign for NETWORK RAIL entitled “Beware The Bubble”. We shot on location at London Bridge, Clapham Junction and Barnes White Hart Lane Station capturing absent minded folk in precarious moments…
