Cathy Newman

September 2018

Shoot with Channel 4 News presenter Cathy Newman for Grazia Magazine.

Cathy didn’t want to be photographed at home so I had to find a location that would be happy for us to invade for a short time. I chatted to the lovely people at Llewelyn’s restaurant and they were happy to help, even better was that Cathy said she knew it and liked eating there.

She was very charming, despite having to head into C4 to prepare for the news shortly after and was willing to work with us despite the minor commotion we were creating in the middle fo Herne Hill.

This was also a shoot with here husband John O’Connell, also a journalist who helped her on the research for her recent book ‘Bloody Brilliant Women’. He was super shy which balanced well with Cathys camera ready confidence.
