Rising London Photographer Pip Talks Moving Into Filmmaking With Debut Short ‘Twain,’ Starring Irish Breakout Éanna Hardwicke


Rising London-based fashion photographer Pip discusses moving into film with his debut short 'Twain,' produced by Daisy Edgar-Jones.

The London-based photographer, who hails from Yorkshire in the north of England, has quietly become a go-to for high-end brands and glossy publications, working with the likes of Prada, Dior, Bulgari and Louis Vuitton and capturing a who’s who of contemporary stars including Paul Mescal, Anya Taylor-Joy, Andrew Scott, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Will Sharpe, Milly Alcock and many more. “Twain” marks his debut, a short film he wrote and directed that moves away from the more glamorous fashion world he’s used to and into grittier, social realist territories, flitting back and forth in time to unravel a story of domestic abuse and tragedy. As Pip explains, while moving away from being a “lone ranger” on a photoshoot to part of a collaborative team on a film may be a steep learning curve, his previous profession gives him a distinct advantage, especially when it comes to signing up not just star talent but Oscar-winning heads of department.
