Chris Floyd - Esquire / Paddington

CHRIS FLOYD recently photographed a certain “bear of little brain” in his studio, commissioned by the good folks at ESQUIRE.

PADDINGTON was due to impart some of his duffel coat expertise upon the winter issue... He was an absolute delight to work with, however his enthusiasm for marmalade sandwiches did get a little out of hand…

HUGE thanks to Esquire for art direction and the wonderful commission, and to all our lovely team, with a special shout to Framestore for bringing a touch of ursine magic 🐻✨

 

Phil Fisk - Observer / Harriet Walter

Beautiful portraits from PHIL FISK’s recent shoot for OBSERVER with actor HARRIET WALTER.

Star of stage and screen, she has had roles in shows ranging from Succession and Ted Lasso to Killing Eve and on stage is one of few female actors to play both a king and queen of England.

Harriet has now also published a book entitled “She Speaks! What Shakespeare’s Women Might Have Said”.

 

Chris Floyd - Savile Row / DFD

CHRIS FLOYD captures the spirit and stories of the tailoring companies of Savile Row, in this lovely commission for DUTCH FINANCIAL DAILY.

The doors of Anderson & Sheppard, Huntsman, and Banshee, were opened and Chris was welcomed, “with such warmth and bottomless pots of tea, as well as the occasional sip of something stronger”.

In Chris’s words, “My favourite little artefact (last picture): From Anderson & Sheppard’s ledgers, Marlene Dietrich’s 1937 measurements and order for a man’s suit. Notice that in the column on the left the customer is asked to write who they were referred by. In Ms Dietrich’s case the referrer was Douglas Fairbanks Jr.”

 

Phil Fisk - Inside Out / Anniah

The second in a series of a short films by PHIL FISK entitled INSIDE OUT, showing the perspective of people’s inner lives on one side of the window and that of the outside world on the other. The films are deliberately shot in portrait format to fully frame the window.

ANNIAH is a young aspiring actor, who Phil found through a local theatre group - this was her first time acting on camera.

Thanks also to Martin at The Lemonade Factory and Vic Twyman for props and set dressing 🏏!

 

Phil Fisk - Inside Out / Tina

Introducing a series of a short films by PHIL FISK entitled INSIDE OUT, showing the perspective of people’s inner lives on one side of the window and that of the outside world on the other. The films are deliberately shot in portrait format to fully frame the window.

The first features TINA, Phil’s friend and a podcaster who talks a lot about mental health, so this vignette is in harmony with how she lives her life.

Thanks also to Martin at The Lemonade Factory, Vic Twyman for props and set dressing and the amazing make skills of Corrine Robinson for Tina’s extra sparkle ✨!

 

Chris Floyd - Mark Cavendish / Men's Health

CHRIS FLOYD recently captured these wonderful portraits of SIR MARK CAVENDISH KBE for MEN'S HEALTH.

In the words of his yellow-jersey-wearing pal, Olympic gold medallist Sir Bradley Wiggins, 'This fella is the GOAT.'  The British cyclist made history in his final Tour de France this year, with a record-breaking 35 stage wins.

In Chris’s words.. “The man gives it everything, no matter what he’s asked to do. We wanted to do one final shot at the end: the old long exposure light painting trick with a torch. Mark offered to draw a man on a bicycle and despite several acceptable attempts in the first few goes, he insisted on carrying on, believing that he could do a better one. So great to work with someone who’s willing and wants to give to the process.”

CHRIS FLOYD recently captured these striking, iconic portraits of British actor RUPERT EVERETT for YOU Magazine. Styling by Joanne M Kennedy.

‘I’m like a bicycle without brake pads now. I’m careering down the hill and I’m putting on the brakes and nothing’s happening. The older you get, the more shrill and anxious you become. You become more fearful about everything.’

 

Phil Fisk - Salt Thinking / healthcare

First glimpse of a stunning new commission captured by PHIL FISK for SALT THINKING for a worldwide campaign for a blood cancer treatment.  Shot over 2 days with 3 models, we created a contemporary, positive visual language for the product launch.  Colour and gradations all caught in camera to ensure perfect synch with the moving image sequences. 

We are really proud of this beautiful body of work 🙌.

Huge thanks to ALL our wonderful team including stylist Vic Twyman, DOP / editor Adrian Wolfson and Ela Calin for her awesome retouching.

And also to Perma Collective for another fabulous, low impact production. (They also helped us to visualise the emissions generated by the shoot, which worked out at just 6% of the industry average.)

 

Phil Fisk - Observer / Neneh Cherry

Phil Fisk shot these gorgeous portraits of "celebrated musician and all-round creative powerhouse" Neneh Cherry for Observer, describing her as "a whirlwind of energy and good vibes that infected the whole studio". Phil is "still reeling from the hugs"!

Neneh's memoir “A Thousand Threads” is out now.

Huge thanks to Observer for the commission and fabulous styling - and to hair and makeup artists Shamara Roper and Hila Karmand 💫

 

Phil Fisk - Observer / Ibrahim Nash'at

"The secret service asked to see my footage. I left the same day"...

The Observer commissioned Phil Fisk to capture these compelling portraits of documentary-maker Ibrahim Nash'at, who was embedded with the Taliban after US forces fled Kabul in 2021, whilst creating his fly-on-the-wall documentary, Hollywoodgate.

Described as “a darkly comic, damning insight into the regime", this astonishing documentary has been a hit at film festivals - featuring scenes of the Taliban exploring some of the “$7bn worth of equipment left behind in Afghanistan when the US made its hasty departure … everything from tactical fighter jets and M16 rifles, to a fully equipped gym and a fridge loaded with Jägermeister and Johnnie Walker Red Label.”

As always, Phil captures thoughtful and beautifully poignant portraits of his sitter.

In the words of Ibrahim, "The power of the camera I’m holding is as strong as the weapon they hold in their hands, maybe even much stronger."
