This one has been a long time in the making but is finally going out on BBC One in the next few weeks!
This has to be one of my favourite briefs to date. After reading the scripts and the original book, I decided to take a certain key theme and rework it through these pictures.

I was lucky to work with photographer Todd Antony on this one who did a remarkable job bringing my original ideas to life, along with my colleague Kate Lawson who ran the shoot day for me when I was unable to attend at the last minute.
