CHRIS FLOYD was recently commissioned to shoot this delightful commission for IDLER - featuring Giles Wood and Mary Killen from unlikely hit show GOGGLEBOX, at home in their Wiltshire “grottage”!
“Over the past few years, in a strange development, Giles and Mary have both become famous for watching telly, and if we ever reintroduced our “Idler of the Year Award”, then Giles would be a front-runner. He has become a national hero for doing very little.” 🙌✨
On a recent trip to Egypt, Joseph was delighted to discover this waterpark on the Red Sea coast. Its architecture obviously inspired by Ricardo Bofill's "La Muralla Roja", which was itself inspired by the architecture of North African casbahs.
The vibrant colours, strong geometric design and graphic inflatables provided ample inspiration for this lovely series of images ❤️🧡💛💚💙🌴💦

Joseph collaborates with Peeta - super talented Venice-based graffiti artist, muralist, oil painter and sculptor whose 3-dimensional style bends surface, buildings and minds…
Mexican textile, installation and street artist Victoria Villasana - whose work adorns gallery and city walls everywhere from London & LA to Mexico City & Guadalajara - collaborated with Joseph on a stunning textile X photography creation. “The use of embroidery is her nod to female empowerment. “Working with fabric makes me feel connected with an inner rebellious femininity. Embroidery is undervalued as just a ‘woman’s craft’ – but it’s something that reminds us of all those amazing women in our lives that nurture us.”

CHRIS FLOYD recently spent several days shooting at the wildly beautiful ZAPATA RANCH near Alamosa, Colorado. A glorious world of “cowgirls, cowboys, horses, cattle, trucks, denim, stetsons, leather goods, steaks, mountain ranges and bison”.
There he met with Kate Matheson, who he used to work with in the early 2000s when she was a picture editor at Conde Nast magazines in London. About 15 years ago she gave it all up, and in her own words, “arrived at the ranch with a suitcase of clothes and a Le Creuset pot, I got my best friend Pepe and my dream truck not long after. I’ll be leaving with a husband, 7 horses, 3 dogs, two babies and a chicken if we can catch her and at least 2 novels worth of stories.”
Next month she is leaving Colorado to move to Montana with her family, where they are taking over the running of her husband’s family’s ranch. Kate is pictured in the last 3 images and you can hear her story on the Ranchlands podcast here.
Fabulous photos Chris! Such a beautiful insight into ranch life in the American midwest.
"It doesn't surprise me that a lot of chefs do pottery"...!
