‘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.’
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 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"!

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."
Phil Fisk was commissioned by Shakespeare's Globe to create this beautiful campaign for their Winter Season '24 - featuring Cymbeline, Three Sisters and All's Well That Ends Well. Moving image to follow soon..

Chris Floyd was commissioned to shoot this extraordinary series of portraits of political “disruptor” / “radical right-wing English populist leader” / self-styled “Billy Graham of Politics” and leader of the Reform Party Ltd at Reform HQ, above an amusement arcade in Clacton, for Gerry Brakus at New Statesman.
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.”
ESQUIRE commission CHRIS FLOYD to shoot this beautifully atmospheric story for their summer 2024 edition, documenting life at the PORT ELLEN distillery on the Scottish island of Islay - home of smoky/peaty whiskies 🔥.

In Chris’s words…
“This is the second time I’ve photographed Sir Keir Starmer. Last month I was commissioned by You Magazine to spend a couple of hours with him in the lead up to the final Arsenal game of the season, against Everton, played at their home stadium, The Emirates, in London. The night before the game, I was given the details of the pub where he likes to meet his football pals, and told to arrive there at 2.15pm. The game was due to kick off at 4pm. This meant I’d have about 90 minutes to shoot my pictures: Sir Keir in the pub, doing what football fans do in pubs before football matches: drink beer and talk incessantly about the fact that Arsenal really need a decent centre forward.
I arrive and we’re introduced, he remembers me from the book cover shoot, and I’m invited to sit at the big pub table among the group, and snap away. I introduce myself to everyone at the table and explain why I’m here and that if any of them don’t want to be seen in the pictures then they should just say and I will respect that wish. One of his friends, a fellow barrister, says that he’s more than happy to be seen with him, adding, “I adore him.”
Pints are drunk. The conversation is relentless, exclusively about football.
At 3.15pm we set off for the 20 min walk to the stadium, Sir Keir with his son, and about ten other people who he meets up with before the game. At first the walk was quiet, small groups of other fans here and there, unrecognised, anonymous. But then we emerged from the labyrinth of back streets onto Hornsey Road and, as always with a football crowd, you start to get the feeling that you’re one of millions of bees coalescing around the hive.
I’m walking backwards, trying to shoot pictures of Sir Keir with his two friends, Chris and Macca, relying entirely on their goodwill to tell me if I’m going to step in front of a bus, or under a lorry. I make the comment, “This is where I get to say the immortal Ginger Rogers line, ‘I did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in heels,’” and it gets the laugh from the three of them that I need to make a picture fit for a magazine opening spread.”
Sir Keir Starmer, 19 May 2024
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!”
