Your best picture is rarely picked by the subs!
It was a pleasure to meet the former Notts and England cricketer Chris Broad at his home in Nottingham.
He had been trapped in a mini bus in Harare during the recent terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, and had been lucky to escape with his life.
I had been asked to do editorial portraits of him and his wife Miche at home in Nottingham for the Sunday Times.
A very specific brief had been provided by the picture editor, which I hope I got! But as usual the best picture happened by accident, when his dog Meg came into the room.
When finished the resultant picture I think summed up nicely the undoubted relief and welcome that must have greeted Chris on his return.
They say you should never work with small children or animals, but not this time!
PS; To all the media out there… Its Miche… not Michelle!
Now the big question has to be, how do you get them to use the best picture?
I think going forwards I will try to just send them the ones I think are best.
Surely that couldn’t go wrong?
