About a week after I photographed David Haye I was on a 6 am flight to Spain with the assignment of photographing Chase and Status in front of 50,000 fans wearing the new England away kit. I would have about 2 minutes to capture the shot at the end of the bands set. CnS were going on stage around 1am. I spent the day and night thinking about how this was going to happen.

In the end it just had to happen, and it did. CnS put on a incredible live set and the fans were going wild.
At around 3 I was on the stage with the band snapping shots in front of the thousands. The show ended and I handed my card to Paul my assistant. He said now that was a little stress full. We downloaded the shots, stayed up and edited for the next couple hours.

Instead of going to sleep we jumped in the car and drove two hours to Barcelona just to make our plane back to London.
No sleep but I did get the shot. Click the picture to see a great short film from the night. I can be seen at the 2:15 mark taking the picture.
Special thanks to the creative force which is Anomaly for creating and coordinating this shoot.

My latest book Instrument is now on the way. Pitchfork has announced the book and also has a preview up now.

Instrument

Anamoly/UMBRO commissioned me to photograph English Heavy Weight champ David Haye revealing the new England Away Football kit. The first shoot was David training at his gym and meeting John Terry. The shots were used as a build up to the fight and shirt reveal.

Next up was another shoot at the gym training and this time Tom from Kasabian came in to offer his support.

The last shoot and most exciting was the big fight in Hamburg. Millions of people world wide watched as David came into the ring and revealed the England Kit. I shot the moment it happened as well as the fight, and people at ringside.

This is the final shot that was used for the ads and projected on buildings in Hamburg
