Steve Double has been working as a professional photographer for over 20 years specialising in celebrity portraits.

During that time he has dealt with every conceivable situation, from extreme lateness to indecisive clients and from stroppy subjects to non-functioning equipment.

Some highlights are having 90 seconds to photograph Bill Gates, waiting 6 hours for the Spice Girls, being sworn at by Ken Dodd, being chided for lateness by Public Enemy, drinking Caiprinhas with Nick Cave, blagging an upgrade off Richard Branson, spending 5 days in a van with Nirvana and never having to wear a tie.

He has worked for every music magazine and record company going and recent album covers include James Blunt’s “Back to Bedlam”, Peter Gabriel’s “Hit” and Lethal Bizzle’s “Against All Oddz”

Editorial clients number Guardian Weekend, Observer Magazine, Esquire, Icon and FT – How To Spend It

Corporate clients have included Sony Hardware, Microsoft X-Box, Compaq, Adobe, Apple, Sun, Avia, Allianz Insurance and Absolut.

His work is held in the permanent collection of Britain’s National Portrait Gallery .

He is old enough to know better.
