On a beautiful and serene summer
morning, with just a slight chill in

Hakel towards a small reed bed at the
southern end. He already had a perfect
reection, but as the rst rays of light
struck the mountain, he saw greater
opportunities as a thin veil of mist lifted
off the loch with the clouds still full of
colour from the sunrise. He waited for
light to strike the peak and eventually
captured this beautiful scene.

Goafoss Waterfall by

images
To even qualify for my shortlist
of favourite image of the year it
needs to have stopped me in my tracks.
It can be beautiful, funny, sad, shocking,
thought provoking, but it needs to move
me and preferably be unlike anything
Ive seen before. So no pressure then.

Dawn at Burrowbridge,
by Kev Pearson
Many of my images of the year
were news or competition-related,
which is covered elsewhere in this issue,
so Ive chosen a landscape. I see a lot of
landscape photography and can get
dispirited by how predictable and
overcooked much of it tends to be.
What I like about this image, from
Glastonbury-based photographer Kev
Pearson, is that its evocative and quite
low key, while also being technically
accomplished. I know this part of
Somerset well, but I love the way Kev
has shot the familiar landmark of the
Burrow Mump church from a fresh
angle. The water leads in the eye, and
there are lots of graphically pleasing
shapes before you even get to the
famous ruin. Everything feels fresh and
summery, but never contrived or cloying.
There is some editing wizardry, but
not much. The image is a panorama
comprised of six stitched images (three
for the foreground, three for the
background). Kev also bracketed these
(-1, 0, +1) and applied gradient masks
in Photoshop to blend the sky exposure
with the scenery. After that, it was just
basic shadow and highlight adjustments.
Kevs picture proves you can still
make interesting images of well-known
landscapes with a bit of thought and
creativity. For more on Kev and his
courses, see www.kevpearson.com.

Eritrean-Ethiopian Disco
Bar, Calais Jungle, by
Giulio Piscitelli
As a very different take from most
of the news images at the time,
this picture, from a series taken in the
Calais Jungle, really captured my
imagination. It wasnt published widely
until this year but was taken towards the
end of 2015. Its a great image in its
own right, quite apart from being a
document of positivity arising out of
total squalor.
Piscitelli photographed the markets,
bars and other meeting places that
sprung up; the work of entrepreneurial
migrants who sought to create a small
helping of normality in the midst of a
crisis. Although this shameful and sad
chapter in the story of human
degradation has largely been consigned
to history, Im relieved that the Jungle
has been accurately documented to
serve as a salutary warning.
The image has an unjustiable beauty
to it; a technical tour de force on one
hand, carefully lit and composed but still
having a spontaneous feel. It represents
a chapter in a hostile environment being

f you named a major
celebrity from the early
1960s onwards from the
worlds of music, cinema,
sport, politics, fashion or royalty
the chances are that Terry ONeill
will have photographed them.
For the rst time a compendium
of his most striking imagery has
been brought together in one
volume Every Picture Tells A
Story that gives a unique insight
into his creative process and the
personalities of the superstars he
shot. ONeill recently took time out
to talk to Amateur Photographer
about some of the photographs in
what he describes as a book of all
my best pictures, telling the full
story of how they were done the
whole shebang behind them all.
Elton John
Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles,
October 1975
There are only a few people Id call
a genius. Frank Sinatra was a
genius and Bowie certainly was.
Elton John, in my opinion, will be
regarded in the same breath as
Beethoven. He is an incredible
showman but as a composer,
songwriter, singer and piano player
his music will live on for hundreds
of years. Arguably his most famous
concert was his two-day
performance at Dodger Stadium,
Los Angeles in 1975. More than
100,000 people were there and I
was the ofcial photographer. I ran
around like crazy for those two days
trying to get every imaginable shot
and angle, and Elton was on true
form. People forget how big he was
in 1975 he was having number-
one hits, number-one albums and
selling out stadiums. All the times I
worked with Elton are some of the
most memorable moments of my
career. To have that sort of close
relationship between photographer
and subject it just doesnt happen
now. Everything is too controlled.
Back then we were all just working
hard and tried to have a bit of
fun when we could.
Brigitte Bardot
On the set of The Legend of
Frenchie King, 1971
It was a windy day and Bardot was
standing and waiting to lm a
scene. I was just wandering around
the set looking for opportunities
and taking a few photos here and
there. I noticed she kept brushing
the hair out of her eyes. I thought if
I could get a close-up of that
moment when the wind would blow
her trademark hair into her eyes,
combined with the cigarette
dangling from those lips, that it
would capture how sexy, strong and
wild her image was. I didnt have
many frames left, so I went in
close but no wind. Then, on the
last shot of the roll, the wind blew
and I clicked the shutter. Magic
pictures happen when the
combination of an idea, patience
and luck occur at once. This was
decades before digital photography
so I had no idea if that image would
match the photo I had in my mind
until the lm was developed. Even
now I still get chills just
remembering the rst time I saw
these images. Im certain I was in
love with her but she couldnt speak
a lick of English and I didnt speak
French. So, regrettably, our
relationship was only between my
camera and her beauty.
Nelson Mandela
London, June 2008
To be asked to take photos at Nelson
Mandelas 90th birthday celebration at Hyde
Park, London, in 2008 was one of the
greatest honours of my life. I met Nelson
Mandela at his hotel and I took some
beautiful candids of him relaxing and a
wonderful portrait with his wife, Graa
Machel. It was all such a whirlwind. I knew
I was privy to a historic moment and I was
with one of the most important people alive.
You could just feel his presence in the room.
I tried hard to remember I was there with a
job to do! As guests arrived I took more
photos, including President Clinton, Oprah
Winfrey, David Cameron, Gordon Brown
and other larger than life gures. When it
was time to leave, and we said our goodbye, I
nearly burst into tears. I realised that I was
with one of the greatest human beings of the
past 100 years [maybe] 1,000 years. It was
a very emotional moment for me.
Muhammad Ali This was before digital so I had no idea if the image would
Dublin, 1972 match the one I had in my mind until the film was developed
Muhammad Ali was in Dublin
training for a ght against Alvin
Lewis. I ew over to take
photographs and interview him for
the Daily Express. Ali was a funny
type of bloke either all giving or
saying nothing. When I started to
ask questions, he swore and said,
Are you writing a book on me? His
brother said, No, hes just asking
really interesting questions. I was
asking what type of music and
books he liked but he was suspicious
because no one had asked him those
type of questions before. He was a
magnetic character in person;
already a legend they just dont
make them like that any more.
Faye Dunaway
Los Angeles, 29 March 1977
We met a few weeks before and
struck up a friendship. She was
favourite to win an Oscar for her
performance in Network. I knew
this type of opportunity would be
rare and I was given the chance to
create an image of a strikingly
beautiful, immensely talented actor
on the cusp of a career-dening
moment, and a life-changing event.
These were the days before a dozen
press agents would have gotten in
the way. I wanted to capture that
moment when the star wakes up
and it dawns on them that,
overnight, theyve not only become a
star, but also a millionaire. This is
that moment of realisation.
Raquel Welch
Hollywood, 1966
In 1966 I went to the lming of One
Million Years B.C. Raquel was still a
bit shy about being lmed in her
now infamous fur bikini and told
me she thought that shed be
crucied by the press for it. I
thought, Thats it! I somehow got
20th Century Fox Studios to set up
a giant crucix for me and I took a
series of shots, in colour and
black-and-white, from different
angles. They were beautiful shots
but we both looked at them once the
lm was developed and got a little
nervous. I was brought up Catholic
and studied to be a priest for a
while. I feared people might think
the wrong thing so I decided not to
publish the photos About 30 years
later Robin Morgan, editor of The
Sunday Times Magazine, found
these photos in a box in my studio
he thought they were
extraordinary, so we decided to use
them. This is now one of my most
reproduced [set of] images. A lot of
people forget that, unlike today, the
photo you see is the photo we took.
Steve McQueen
An awkward meeting in Hollywood
I am always asked, Who was the worst person you have
photographed?. Ive been lucky in my career and I would
never say anything really negative about anyone except in
the case of Steve McQueen! Hes a great actor and maybe
I just caught him at the wrong time. Id arranged to do a
photo shoot with him at his ofce in Hollywood. I turned
up at the building, met the PA and in we went. As soon as
we opened the door to his ofce I could tell this wasnt
going to go well. Instinct kicked in and I started snapping!
Apparently, he didnt know I was going to come that day
and sure enough he started yelling at us to get out. I was
just taking photos of anything I could get in focus. I had a
lot of colour lm so I was just trying to zoom in on his
hands, eyes, ears whatever I saw through the lens.
I left in a hurry and didnt get too many shots.

off when his picture of a sleeping politician was published in The Daily Sketch. He moved into newspapers and documented the explosion of 1960s youth culture, including
the rise of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, as well as photographing major names from the worlds of cinema, politics and sport. His photographs have been exhibited
around the world and, now aged 78, he is still busy working on his archive, books and exhibition projects. To nd out more, go to www.iconicimages.net

Laurie Campbell
www.lauriecampbell.com
All animals have what is referred to as a circle of fear a distance
at which they will tolerate humans before moving away. The
parameters for this vary enormously, and often depend on their
past experiences with people. Red deer in parkland, for example,
may have had few bad experiences with people, leading to ight distances
that are fairly modest. But for those on an open Scottish hillside, which are
more rigorously culled, the circle of fear can be more like several hundred
metres. In order to be a success, stalking animals requires preplanning and TTL metering may

Craig Roberts

One great advantage of shooting in an urban
environment is that you can continue with
your work even when the sun has gone down.
As day turns to night, streetlights and interior
lights of buildings illuminate the environment. Grab a
tripod, connect a cable to your camera and get set for
some great possibilities. Your exposures will run into
seconds or even minutes, but in that time, all sorts of
things can happen.

Roger Hicks has been writing about photography since 1981 and has published more than three dozen books on the subject, many in partnership with his wife Frances Schultz (visit his new website
at www.rogerandfrances.eu). Every week in this column Roger deconstructs a classic or contemporary photograph. In the 31 December issue he considers an image by NASA.
