Celebrity portraiture from the acclaimed British photographer and author, with David Bowie, Cate Blanchett, Iggy Pop and more
This coffee table volume is the first monograph dedicated to British photographer Chris Floyd’s (born 1968) 30-year career. Featuring over 200 photographs, it includes his sessions with Paul McCartney, David Attenborough, Debbie Harry, David Hockney, David Bowie, Marcus Rashford, Cate Blanchett, Oasis, Iggy Pop and many more. The photographs are accompanied by a collection of stories that paint a broader and sometimes funnier picture of his oeuvre. “For a long time people have told me how much they love reading what I write, as much as looking at the photographs I produce, and that they would love to own a book of this work and these tales,” he writes. “After nearly 30 years in the game, perhaps now is the time to parlay the most interesting, funny, odd, disturbing, confrontational, collaborative and life affirming photographic moments.”

PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Financial Times: How To Spend It
Baya Simons
Floyd made his name snapping candid portraits of Britpop stars in the ’90s and early Noughties (including the fresh-faced Arctic Monkeys), and has since gone on to photograph celebrities such as David Attenborough and Greta Gerwig. The portraits are now gathered in his first monograph. “If you know how to do what I do,” he says, “you can make anyone forget why they’re there.”
L'Oeil de la Photographie
As the world seeks to sanitise its visual history, in the age of Google’s Magic Eraser, Chris Floyd’s Not Just Pictures is a permanent reminder of what real photography is all about.
The New Statesman
Gerry Brakus
The book is a brilliant document not just of the photographer’s career, but of familiar faces and times.
