This was truly an honor photographing the elegant and iconic Dame Helen Mirren @helenmirren for People Magazine’s @people Beautiful Issue. Dame Helen was, as one would expect, utterly delightful and could not have been more comfortable in her own skin, thus making my job extremely easy. There are still days when I pinch myself that I get to work with the people I get to work with, this was one of them. Very grateful to the following for entrusting me and/or contributing their tremendous talent to the result. Many thanks to dear friend and long time collaborator photo editor Allyson Torrisi @allypix77 Creative Director Andrea Dunham @aldunham Hair: Richard Collins @dickycollins Makeup: Jo Strettell @jostrettell Stylist: Martina Nilsson @stylistmartina Publicist Katie Feldman @katiefeldmanla (so nice to start and end that week working with you:) and a very special thank you to Gene Bresler @catchlighdigital for striking a beautifully delicate balance in post.
