Beautiful film. I was really moved by it. Thank you for making it.

Very nice film portrait and tribute

Beautiful Harry and Fred. Right down to the last frame.....make a thing!

My sincerest thanks to you both for producing and posting such a beautiful homage to my dad. And that little story near the beginning of the movie was a surprise to me. Of course, I know he was Jewish (we're Sephardic), but I've never really heard him actually refer to himself as Jewish. It just never came up in conversation. And curiously, I'd never heard that story before. Huh. Another piece of his life's puzzle falling into place. And regarding the quality of the video itself, the quality of your photography, the nature of the lighting on Dad's face in the early interview, your gentle choice of music... Suzanne Clark (below) said it best: "You captured him perfectly." And you did. Thank you. It brought a tear to my eye.

Another great video, I’m really enjoying the channel. Fred, any chance you could ask Harry what binders he uses to store those negatives. I’ve yet to find one that fits perfectly in a Kallax unit like that. Ha.

Gorgeous and very touching. Thank you for doing this film, I'm not sure everyone has a momument like this to look at when they want.

I reckon you got your own back by taking a pretty horrible picture of her!

❤

This was beautiful to watch, I really appreciated that you chose to leave all the talking to him. A truly happy man, inspiring.

What a gift. Thank you so much Harry. You captured Al perfectly. Thoughtful always and oh so humble! Never overly critical or apologetic for whatever he made. He also used the f...word better than anybody I know.

If you didn't get the £1 you should sue her for your share of the proceeds from 'her' book.

You've made a beautiful thing about a man who made beautiful things, who will be remembered by those who knew him, and, thanks to you, many of us who have watched this beautiful thing. Thank you ❤❤

Great work, thank you ❤

Wonderful film and tribute of a truly happy man. Thanks Fred and Harry for this. ❤

You're a brilliant photographer and equally brilliant raconteur! Thanks for sharing!

Lovely...

Well done guys, excellent film making and through ‘making a thing’ you’ve allowed Albert to inspire and affect our lives… ‘It wasn’t there before I started…’ simply wonderful.., how many of us are now inspired by that one, simple, clever, heartfelt line? Thanks for sharing

Brilliant, thank you

Beautiful... can't wait to see more of these Fred :) Though, I have to say that I miss the usual narration by Harry a bit.

Very moving film ❤

Gorgeous film. Can you identify the quiet piano music at 09:23? Thank you.

Class. 👏

A beautiful film. May his memory be a blessing to you.

Thanks, that was wonderfully honest, fun, engaging and super interesting!

Great stories, glad you recorded them

He seems like a right prk. You are a true professional. Excellent photos considering the stressful wait. Really enjoying your channel. Such amazing insights.

Wow i found out you did those dreamy Spice Girls photos. I always wondered how Geri ended up on the floor in her elvis outfit. Look forward to that story

Enjoyed this one as always. Still laughing at Harry's attempts to subtly get Dominic West to get his shirt off, and then dropping the photo editor in it- in the previous video. I know I've mentioned before, but is there any chance of pulling out one of Harry's first commissions- would be great to hear how he managed it, overcoming the nerves etc. Maybe comparing to one of the latest? One of the things I've always liked about Harry's work is his ability to design images around the environment. To what extent is that recci'ing the location before the shoot, versus instinctual? My last suggestion is a bit left field, but how about a live shoot, maybe with someone up and coming. A live shoot would show all aspects of the things Harry discusses- people management and social skills, design, lighting, and the rhythm. Maybe a tall order, but we can hope. Cheers, and thanks again for all the effort you both go to to bring these insights to light. D

I’m loving these videos! I’m by no means a professional but I’m starting a little portrait project and your videos are really helping with how to go about them and how to work with people. I feel I’ve learned a lot.

Another fascinating video and interesting quotes too. It would be interesting to know which of your peers from around that era you admired.

Wow. What a legend. Doesn't smile much though! I'd love a video where half is Harry talking about the shoot. And the other half, the subject looking back at the shoot from their perspective.

I was a young Canadian middle distance runner back in the 80s so Coe, Ovett, & John Walker were my heroes. Great story & photos.

2012 didn't reach anywhere beyond London, and definitely not up here in Scotland. Apart from that, your 'Breakdown' videos are magnificent lessons of the creative process in context and, of course, reminders of your work.

I was Team Coe. Then Seb stopped being a Yorkshireman, dropped what was left of his Yorkshire accent and became part of the worst Tory regime in living memory. Being a class traitor is unforgivable. 🙂

In some of the photos you can see that he was knackered. It doesn't show in the crucial ones, though, like the cover. There, his facial expression just reads as serene.

Man, do something off-piste and unexpected again...Like wearing a different shirt - It really is starting to fry my brain !! Another great video by the way, Thanks

I really like Harry's shirt that he wears over and over.... Is it something behind this shirt story? Thanks anyways🖐

Here he is!

I was at University with Seb - he's a year or two older than me and I didn't know him, but you would see him running around the campus. I did know (Sir) Clive Woodward a bit though - he's a really nice guy. Have you photographed him? Coe's 800m WR was really special - it stood until relatively recently.

Jesus Christ the photos just KEEP getting better!

As always - fantastic story! Great video!!! ❤ Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 ✌️🇺🇦

Made me smile that :) and I adore the shots of Dominic in the natural window light, the one looking upwards.... Score! I like the idea of him facing away from you and slowly turning around in shots, may try that my next widow light shoot - as hey you got massive variation from just turning from back to front! inspired me :)

thanks for not being and industry gate keeper. really value these videos. thank you

WTF have i just witnessed. I don't know this guy in the photograph world but he has to be the best storyteller ever!!! This is the first video i have just came across of his channel. I'm new photography the past 4-5 years but let’s put our hands together for Harry passing on his wisdom. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 Harry. Btw i love to take pictures of cows 🐄 😂 thats my muse!!

Another great insight, you always seem to absorb any preconceive pressure and get the shots in that count, all sublime.

Wow! That was fun. Great to see both of you on the video.

I really love your videos and channel.

The relationship between planning and improvisation is interesting in your photography. You almost seem to plan on improvising. These days, commercial photography is so regimented. The creative work is often done before and after the shoot but not during. It's so much better to trust your spontaneity, which is why your photos always stand out, I think.

To put the great Holborn Studios into perspective, Helmut Newton called it ‘the Abbey Road of photo studios’ and he’s exactly right, I was there earlier this year, you walk in, see the famous Duffy portrait of Bowie, and everyone there EVERYONE treats you so well, so kind, so helpful. You can be a jobbing photographer who stays under the radar (moi) and be treated just the same as the big names. Harry probably has his name on the ‘one’ parking space 😂😂😂. Thanks again Harry & Fred for sharing your insights.
