If at first you don’t succeed, Tri-X and Tri-X again.
Twenty years ago, I shot my first roll of film. Two decades on, I still find myself working much the same way: alone with a camera, playing, experimenting, and developing new ideas.
Some parts of the craft I feel I’ve mastered. Others remain a mystery, as perhaps they always should. If all these years have taught me anything, it’s that mastery isn’t the absence of mistakes - it’s the accumulation of them. That, and the refusal to stop learning.
In this new artificial age, we’re sold efficiency as the highest virtue: fewer errors, faster results, shortcuts to the finished product. But in the pursuit of artistry, I think the opposite is true. Time isn’t the cost of the work; it is the work.
I’ve spent thousands of hours behind the lens obsessing over the details no one else may notice, honing my craft. Many of them have been repetitive, unremarkable, or frustrating. But every so often, the light conspires in my favour, and all that groundwork gives way to a moment of in-camera alchemy - or a small step into new creative territory. That is what patience eventually becomes.
Sending love and admiration to anyone striving and surviving in the arts. Whatever it is you do: do it your way, make many mistakes, and take your time.

Century Rose. This is not filmed - it is photographed.
This is 100 individual photographs, captured on medium format B&W film, brought together to create a 360-degree rotation of a single white rose. The rose remained in place (suspended by fishing wire) while I moved the camera precisely around it, photographing it from 100 different angles. Every frame was meticulously composed, shot, developed, scanned and arranged into the sequence you see here. No CGI, no compositing, no rendering, no automation.
Of course, I could have just filmed it, or made it digitally. We’re living in a time when almost anything can be made to look like anything, often in a matter of seconds. But I’ve always felt that making art is about more than arriving at the finished image. It’s about the experience of getting there. The time, the patience, the mistakes, the discoveries. There’s something so rewarding about choosing the long way. Not because I have to, but because I believe there’s immense dignity and joy in the process itself.
For anyone wondering - it is a real rose. Several hours into the shoot, the leaves had begun to wilt. Look closely towards the end of the rotation and you’ll notice them dip slightly, before springing back to life as the sequence loops. A small reminder that something lasting just a few seconds on screen took so many hours to shoot.

The worst Traitor, but the most wonderful man. These portraits are from the very first time I photographed Richard, thirteen years ago at his home. How time flies @richard.e.grant 🖤

Few people have challenged the film industry quite like Rose McGowan has. I loved making these with her - fierce, funny and uncompromisingly herself 🤍

10 Questions with Pip.
Photographer, writer and director Pip joins us for the latest instalment of 10 Questions.
We talk about the move from photography into filmmaking, the difference between finding an image and building a scene, collaboration, authorship, performance - and the feature film he’s currently developing.
As Pip puts it:
“Photography taught me to look for the image; filmmaking taught me to look beyond it.”
The full conversation is now on the Mamnick Journal.
Comment READ and we’ll send you the link.

People often ask me who I’ve most enjoyed photographing in my career. I’ve always found it a difficult question to answer. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some remarkable people over the years, many of them extraordinary in very different ways. But the older I get, the more I realise it has very little to do with the photographs. It’s the conversations, the stories traded, and what someone leaves with you long after the shoot is over.
Every time I’ve worked with Ian, I’ve come away reminded of why the arts matter, why generosity matters, and why life is worth pursuing with curiosity and humour. He is, of course, a giant of the game. But what stays with me most is the warmth, the wisdom, the wit, and a gentleness far too few possess.
