I was recently asked by the Sunday Times Magazine travel down to Portland, Dorset on the south coast of England to photograph Saskia Tidey, an Olympic sailor racing for Team GB at this years Paris Olympic games. I woke up on the morning of the shoot with food poisoning which wasn’t a great start.
Saskia was amazingly accommodating and helpful – if she hadn’t of been, it could have gone very differently. Working without an assistant and using lighting is not an ideal situation when you’re feeling worse for wear, so I’m grateful that she was easy to worth with. As we shot I felt myself returning to normal and ended up finishing the shoot knee deep in the English Channel.
