CP Rizwan, UAE Cricket Captain

I was asked by the National Newspaper to follow Paul Radley, cricket journalist and author of Playing To Fix to the heart of the Cotswolds to cover a story on CP Rizwan, the former captain of the UAE T20 team.

CP was turning out as a pro for Hatherley and Reddings CC at Dumbleton CC. Paul went to see how his experience differed from the cut and thrust of International franchise cricket.

The Cotswolds is where I grew up and played village cricket, though for me think of the BBC’s ‘This Country’ with added Findus Crispy Pancakes, rather than this Chocolate Box Cotswolds, an idyllic location sometimes mentioned as one of the most beautiful grounds in the country.

Thanks to Scott Chasserot for the commission and to Paul and CP for the scones, sandwiches and endless cricket chat!

Maya Jama for the Guardian

Its always a particular pleasure when the Guardian commissions me, as I know how many Photographers they have, and the quality they can call upon on a daily basis. Maya Jama, the Television and Radio Presenter was a joy to shoot, with a wicked sense of humour and endless patience. Below is the article, written by Joanna Moorhead.

The Lord Alfred Dubs

It was quite a feat trying to keep up with 84 year old Alf Dubs as he raced through the corridors and communal areas of the Palace of Westminster. He was constantly stopping to check from the numerous TV screens that he was not needed in the chamber and hailing all and sundry as he whisked us towards Westminster Hall. His energy was matched only by the generosity with his time.

As always it was so good to be working with an old colleague from TO - Alf was interviewed by Rebecca Taylor for Jewish Renaissance Magazine, and sitting in on the interview was a great pleasure.
