Don't Look Down!

Old school photographers risk factor

It was pure chance that when visiting a couples home in Hampshire I notices a great photo of a construction worker on a high crane jib, without the now customary safety harness, hi vis jacket and hard hat.

This was the first time I met Graeme and his wife Marion and as I looked at the photo, I casually said the photographer behind the camera clearly had no fear of heights. Graeme swiftly replied, no I didn’t and so commenced a conversation about his days as a press photographer. 

Graeme kindly gave me some background to how he approached taking the photograph in this short video blog.

He was a treasure of fascinating stories including a Mia Farrow incident in Wokingham Berkshire and the fact he was the first to have a photograph on the front page of The Times – I can see another short video blog on the horizon!
