We’re hitting the ground running for January, and it feels like we’ve been back in the office for much longer than a week! Mince pies feel a million miles away, and we’re fizzing with excitement about this month, not to mention looking ahead to a very eventful February where we’ll be taking in the BRIT Awards, the BAFTAs and London Fashion Week.
For now though, we’ve published two new Exclusive Profile channels with photographers Derrick Santini and Phil Knott.
Discover the secrets and techniques behind some of the most iconic images and campaigns of the last few years. Derrick Santini is the man behind the camera responsible for the most recognisable photographs of music stars like Duffy, Jarvis Cocker, Jamelia and Frank Skinner.
Lily Allen’s nonchalant charm was captured in Derrick’s photographs for the cover of her debut album Aright Still. In an exclusive interview with t5m, he talks about the experience of working with the brightest stars in the worlds of fashion and music, and his career beginnings from his first camera to growing up in Scarborough. He maintains that keeping level-headed and grounded are the secrets to his success. Listen to more pearls of wisdom on the Derrick Santini channel.
Watch in-depth video interviews with another top photographer, the charming and energetic Phil Knott. The art director and photographer fuses the styles of portraiture and fashion photography in his commercial work, and street culture and music in his personal work. He has also launched his own journal, Tally Ho.
Learn the tricks of the trade that took him to the top of his field, photographing Nas, Clive Owen and Jude Law and contributing editorial shoots for Flaunt and i-D Magazine, on the new Phil Knott channel on t5m.
