(*She can, she actually wanted a nineteen page spread including a 3D page where several Diptyque samples spray as you open the magazine ☹️)". Inspired.
Love these portraits!! and fab styling by Amy Hanson Bevan 🙌

Joseph Ford - (more!) Dacia
We wanted to share these beautiful landscape format versions of the images Joseph Ford captured for his recent campaign for DACIA, commissioned by PUBLICIS CONSEIL.
The colour tones and details are so lovely its worth a closer look! 🔎✨
Joseph Ford - Dacia
Joseph Ford had a blast shooting this campaign for DACIA, focussing on their aftercare and maintenance services in studio and on location in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Like most of the projects Joseph works on, we combined stills and TVC production, shooting alongside the film crew and working with the DoP to integrate the stills and motion lighting for a more efficient production. This allowed the client to reduce costs and enabled Joseph to maximise the number of images he could capture. We love all the details in these beautifully captured ads.
Merci beaucoup to Publicis Conseil and all the team for a wonderful shoot.
🚗💨💨✨

Delighted to share imagery from a worldwide campaign, encompassing over 30 individual portraits and accompanying motion captured by Chris Floyd.
We collaborated with pharmaceutical giant GSK to launch Haleon and their global range of consumer healthcare products. The company have a very diverse audience that we wanted to reflect in the casting of our models. We photographed real people with real stories, sometimes involving health challenges - but always with a spirit of positivity.

Huge thanks to Interbrand, Make Marks and all the amazing people who commissioned and helped bring these beautiful portraits to life 🙌

Knowledge Strength Integrity
Chris Floyd shoots rapper/boxer/joker/all-round entrepreneur KSI for Men’s Health.
"KSI is, to many of his fans, a modern-day polymath and 21st-century renaissance man. If you’re over 25, however, he may well be the most famous person you’ve never heard of.... Having made his name via YouTube skits and gaming commentary, KSI's ventures to date have earned him in excess of £15 million. He has more than 40 million subscribers across his three channels and his 2019 boxing match against fellow YouTuber Logan Paul was one of the top five highest selling-fights in history. KSI is 29 years old."
Huge thanks to all the team involved in creating these wonderful portraits 👏
Chris Floyd - Not Just Pictures / Guardian
Delighted to share this beautiful feature on “Not Just Pictures” by Chris Floyd, in this week’s Guardian, featuring selected portraits and stories - from Sheridan Smith to civil rights icon Claudette Colvin ❤️
“In his latest book, Not Just Pictures to be published by Reel Art Press, the celebrated British photographer shares more than 250 images of extraordinary people: Hollywood stars, artists, actors, athletes and musicians. Here, he tells the stories behind some of those shots. “
We’ve included selected extracts below, and you can see the full article here.
Chris Floyd - Not Just Pictures
Flock are thrilled to announce the publication of CHRIS FLOYD "NOT JUST PICTURES"
A stunning, first monograph dedicated to Chris’s 30-year career, published by Reel Art Press and released this week!!
Featuring over 200 photographs, it includes his sessions with Paul McCartney, David Attenborough, Debbie Harry, David Hockney, David Bowie, Marcus Rashford, Cate Blanchett, Oasis, Iggy Pop and many more. The photographs are accompanied by a collection of stories that paint a broader and often funnier picture of his oeuvre.
In Chris’s words… “For a long time people have told me how much they love reading what I write, as much as looking at the photographs I produce, and that they would love to own a book of this work and these tales. After nearly 30 years in the game, perhaps now is the time to parlay the most interesting, funny, odd, disturbing, confrontational, collaborative and life affirming photographic moments.”
"The man can talk. And he can write too. His book [is]... a handsome showcase for some of his most thrilling work. I can think of many excellent photography books, but none that pulls off this trick so convincingly; showing you the picture, and then, like a rogue magician, lifting the curtain and taking the reader behind the scenes for a glimpse of the delicate negotiations that went into its making."
Esquire
Every picture tells a story… and below is a small selection of the portraits featured in the book (each with a delicious tale to accompany it).

Phil Fisk - SKY / This England / Kenneth Branagh
We are delighted to share Phil Fisk’s compelling photographic commission for Michael Winterbottom’s six-part drama This England.
The series was recently released on SKY Atlantic, and follows the then prime minister Boris Johnson (played by the amazing Kenneth Branagh) and his government through the first wave of the pandemic.
Huge thanks to SKY, Revolution Films, Chris Roome for the retouching skills and everyone involved in creating these poignant images.
Chris Floyd - Harrods / 5 Chefs!
Such a lovely commission - 5 amazing chefs, photographed by Chris Floyd on the roof of Harrods in London, July 2022.
L to R: Jason Atherton, Dave Pynt, Philip Khoury, Angelo Musa, Tom Kerridge.
In Chris’s words… “One of the great, maybe the greatest, privileges of my job is that I get to spend legitimate time in the company of supremely talented people. This was one of those days. The five men here all gave me their time, with humour and curiosity, on one of the hottest goddamn days of the year, without seeming to release one drop of sweat into their immaculately pressed chef’s whites. And what was greatest of all about it was getting to listen to the five of them taking to each other about what they do, the language of their world, swapping tips and tricks.”
