Matt Smith in 'Christopher and His Kind'

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.

Christopher & His Kind GT cover

Earlier this year I was the still photographer in the upcoming BBC drama 'Christopher and His Kind'.

Based on the story of Christopher Isherwood and his book about the Berlin gay scene in the 1930's.

The book was previously made into a musical you may of heard of called 'Cabaret'

Starring Matt Smith of Dr Who fame, Imogen Poots and Douglas Booth

Some lovely locations around Northern Ireland to shoot, including Mount Stewart for the cover and first DPS. One of the days was spent turning central Belfast in a Nazi flag strewn Berlin, I'll post shots of those after the film has been broadcast.

Absolutley delighted to get the cover of Gay Times and such a large spread inside. It's rare for stills to be seen used as well as this in publications, other than the TV and Film magazines.

Christopher and His kind should be on BBC 2 later this month, I think it will be well worth a watch.
