Last year I worked on the BBC drama 'Christopher And His Kind' about Christopher Isherwood, who's book 'Goodbye To Berlin' the film/stageshow 'Cabaret' is based on.
Shot here in Northern Ireland and starring Matt Smith as Christopher Isherwood it dramatizes his experiences in 1930's Berlin. It's being screened this Saturday (19th March) at 9.30pm on BBC2 and will be worth a watch!
This was a great project to work on, as the costumes and makeup were stunning, especially on Imogen Poots and we had some fabulous locations to recreate 30's Berlin. I love photographing period dramas!
I finally got my first cover of the Radio Times, and a fairly decent spread inside. It's quite ironic really as in the past I have twice nearly got a cover of the Radio Times only to be bumped on both occasions by 'Dr Who', which is of course played by Matt Smith!!
The cover was shot in my studio, and art directed by Jo O'Leary from the BBC. One of the hardest things about being a stills photographer on a film is getting access to the actors as time is always so tight. We decided to shoot the background in-situ on set and then Matt in the studio against a plain background as we would have more time to light it and ultimately more time with him.
