Miyamoto is the world famous creator of Super Mario. This shoot took place in the Hotel Costes swimming pool on Rue Faubourg, Saint Honore in Paris and was a commission from Le Point Magazine. More often than not these hotels are nice, but make for boring locations for photoshoots. After scouting the hotel for some time, I decided we should shoot in the swimming pool because it had nice lighting.
Shigeru couldn’t speak a word of English, but it was just a picture piece so the words didn’t matter. I remember laughing a lot. I shot this on a big Pentax 6×7 medium format with one light at the back and asked the Le Point journalist I was with to hold the curtains together. I did have the journalist’s hand holding the curtains together in the original shot but the layout editor took it out. What a shame!

Newport ,Wales | 2089
This series looks at working life in Wales—cashiers, roofers, labourers, and men on construction sites. It was photographed on bulk-rolled Kodak Tri-X film, giving the images a gritty, tactile quality that reflects the physicality of the jobs. Shot with no frills, just available light and time spent watching, the pictures are a quiet record of labour—its gestures, its repetition, and its dignity.
