    One of my proudest photographs to date. Not for its technical mastery but for the fact I found the courage to approach him and request a picture! The scene was London Zoo last Saturday, the setting was Damian Lewis and his wife standing outside the ‘Amazing Animals’ show. After recognising him I pondered and deliberated for a minute before plucking up the courage and talking to him. He was really nice.
