Golden Threads - The stories behind the lens of a famous photographer

Through the tapestry of my life as a professional photographer, golden threads have been woven through meeting people behind the lens

The golden threads have arisen from the opportunity to engage with some of the most famous and influential people of our times, getting to know them, absorbing their life stories with a mixture of sadness and laughter, creating fond and everlasting memories.

Through this book, I would like to share some of these rich and precious golden threads, the human connection - that enabled me to create the photographs you see. A photograph captures a moment- a second- in someone’s life that is preserved forever. Here, I reveal the emotions, compassion and laughter behind the picture that speaks a thousand thoughts.
