One of the most in-demand celebrity portrait photographers in the world, Chris Floyd discusses the first monograph dedicated to his 30-year career with Catriona Ni Aolain, director of creative content at Rolling Stone. Floyd’s subjects include Paul McCartney, Tina Fey, Yoko Ono, David Bowie, Bill Murray, Vivienne Westwood, Iggy Pop, David Attenborough, Kristen Wiig, Christopher Reeve, David Bailey, Paul Weller and Pet Shop Boys. A visual memoir, Floyd’s selected career highlights are accompanied by his incisive, recollections.
