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.”

Chris Floyd - Idler / Richard Hawley
CHRIS FLOYD shot these fabulous portraits of singer/songwriter and guitarist RICHARD HAWLEY for the new issue of THE IDLER.
“28 years ago I did a series of single sleeves for a band called Longpigs. They were art directed by Pat & Jo Skinny, and the band left the three of us alone to do what we liked. It was the perfect creative partnership. In March of this year I went up to Sheffield for the day to photograph that band’s guitarist, Richard Hawley, who I had not seen since a night in Paris in 1996. We did some pictures at The Samuel Worth Chapel in the Sheffield General Cemetery. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon in the pub listening to Richard’s amazing stories of his life in music. It was the perfect way to spend a day.”

Phil Fisk - HSBC / HNIV
HEY HUMAN commission PHIL FISK to shoot this beautiful campaign for HNIV, the investment arm of HSBC.
“The shoot was a heady three days with over 30 models. Starting at Shoreditch Studios we shot a mix of black and white portraiture whilst utilising the other studio textures for portraits that could feel more real. The agency wanted a bright feel throughout to incorporate the HNIV overlay and though this was easily achieved in the studio it would be harder work in the location spaces.”
“Styling and props were all overseen by VIC TWYMAN and her team who somehow pulled it all together in a short space of time and with a decent recce we were able to light and redesign the empty offices into multiple scenarios so quick it was like a dream. Big thank you to Peyo Alvarez and Emma Pottinger for sweat, blood but thankfully no tears!”
