I have now had the true pleasure of photographing Tilda Swinton twice.  I remember my first reaction when I was told I had a shoot with her.  I was excited and a thousand ideas instantly came to mind.

Not only am I a fan of her acting but I find her looks fascinating and beautiful.

 Although I have had the pleasure to work with Tilda twice I would love to photograph her again but with my own choice of location and styling.

My first shoot with Tilda had little art direction but was restricted by location.  I managed to get Tilda to agree to go outside for the last 5 minutes...

... but the first 15 minutes were in a boring meeting room. Location was tricky but I still took one of my favorite shots of her.

 The second shoot was just recently.  In the run up to the film "We need to talk about Kevin".  The idea was to shoot Tilda for a cover for Time Out which came out in connection with London Film Festival on the 5.Oct.11.  (See tearsheets for more info).

Thanks again Tilda - I hope we meet again....
