Chris Floyd - National Lottery / National Portrait Gallery


Chris was commissioned by THE NATIONAL LOTTERY to photograph 13 'unheralded champions of the arts sector', who have all undertaken wonderful creative projects throughout the pandemic to keep the spirit of their communities alive...

These awesome projects are funded by the massive £30million raised each week for good causes by National Lottery players.

Featured here are just a handful of the inspiring creators and founders from projects such as OPEN BOOK in Scotland where Liz Treacher hosts creative writing sessions to combat loneliness; Vic Brown in Tamworth whose creative arts project NEW URBAN ERA has launched a new online platform for beatboxers, street artists, breakdancers and schools to collaborate during the pandemic; and Maria Connolly, founder of 1 ELEVEN THEATRE in Belfast who performs socially distanced theatre (as Judy Garland, Bette Midler and Marilyn Monroe) to elderly people with dementia.

The portraits are currently being exhibited at eight galleries around the UK including IKON, the MAC Belfast, the PHOTOGRAPHERS' GALLERY, BFI Southbank and the NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY, London.

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 - 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”.

Phil Fisk - Observer / Chefs in Schools

In a new term after the challenges of lockdown, the charity CHEFS IN SCHOOLS is providing 11,000 London students with fresh, nutritious and creative food.

PHIL FISK captured these awesome chefs, (who previously worked at St John and Nopi) in action at Woodmansterne School, Lambeth and Little Jungle Nursery in Dulwich for OBSERVER.

School dinners are definitely not how we remember them…!

Chris Floyd - Men's Health - Fighting Spirit

For a story in the May issue of MEN'S HEALTH, CHRIS FLOYD was commissioned to photograph several British servicemen who have all endured PTSD in one form or another.

"How do you fight an enemy you can't see? One that can infiltrate every base, aircraft carrier and submarine and strike down a teenage cadet in the safety of his barracks yet is just as able to lie in wait for months, or even years, before dealing a fatal blow, long after a soldier has exited the theatre of war and even the military itself? Between 2014 and 2018, hostile action accounted for the deaths of 2 servicemen. Over the same period, at least 49 UK service personnel died as a result of suicide.”
