The orchards at Brogdale, Kent, England

Art Direction Abigail Dodd

Gregg Wallace

"Food expert Gregg Wallace in the orchard at Brogdale. Illustrating an article on Apples in BBC Gardeners' World magazine, I was briefed to capture his humour using the William Tell theme. At the same time, the photograph had to capture the atmosphere of a late summer orchard. The apples in the background and the one on Gregg's head were chosen for their colour, not variety.
Whenever you take a celebrity portrait, you're usually on a strict deadline and often don't know what to expect from a session. In this instance, Gregg was the perfect sitter and the photos almost took themselves – we just had to hope the camera motordrive could keep up with his quick-fire humour!."
