The Photowalk

For three decades, British photographer and filmmaker Chris Floyd has "Been privileged to photograph people who are the best in the World at what they do. Whether it's Stephen Hawking, Paul McCartney or David Hockney, these people have defined the era in which we live."

Today, I walk in Oxfordshire with this humble powerhouse of British photography whose work has appeared in some of the world’s most highly respected publications, including Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine and The Sunday Times Magazine, among others.

We talk about how saying YES at important moments in his life has unlocked doors to people and experiences he might never have experienced if he'd followed an expected path into accountancy.

Also today, one of the most revealing answers to the question of WHY, with stories about photographing the Royal Family and 'our' Superman.

There's news about Scotland 2025, plus the assignment for November set by Lynn Fraser and Jacquie Matechuk.

Links to all guests and features will be on the showpage, my sincere thanks to MPB who sponsor this show and the Extra Milers without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.
