Life in London is getting busy after being away for a long time - commissions keep coming - perhaps it's coincidence, perhaps it's just that time of year, perhaps it's just luck. But in any case, I'm glad it's busy - features, portraits and interviews soon merge into the 'normal' of working life.
I would hate to call meeting Simon von Oppenheim a 'normal' occurrence, because none is. Every situation is different and has its own challenges. Here, we had 45 minutes for an interview - he's a pleasant, calm, slightly shy nice man who granted us time for an interview during which I took candid portraits. The setting was not ideal: a small office, not much light and nothing really striking except for a piece of artwork on the wall whilst I tried to come up with a quirky photo. Some of the results are here, and one still makes me smile - wanna guess which one?
