Famous Folk
Ah, good old celebrities - you never know where you stand with them.
You half expect them to be bossy and always in a rush to get the job done, and as a result your mouth gets dry before you even start and you tell yourself not to panic; that you're doing them a favour with all this free publicity. But let's just say that not all of them want to play ball.
Of course, I won't name names, and every celeb or famous person seen here was interesting to meet and to photograph, but they were even more interesting when they agreed to some of my more strange requests (like John Hurt (Alien; Harry Potter; Indiana Jones) posing with a huge slab of cake.
And then there was Neil Morrissey: staring straight in to the sun, eyes watering, holding the pose until I was happy with my shot (although he was mumbling under his breath 'It's starting to hurt a bit now').
The highlight of my professional career so far has to be the moment I got to photograph American rockers Linkin Park at Download Festival 2011. Getting paid to run and around at the front of the stage whilst listening to one of my favourite bands is certainly my idea of a good job.
