Anna Watkins – Olympic Gold Medalist Rower

24th April 2013

I shot Anna Watkins’s hands on the Thames at Henley. She has very beautiful hands and it’s going to be tough to choose the final image as there are two completely different ones that I love equally. Listening to her talk about her medal winning race was a joy, her enthusiasm, passion and knowledge are formidable. We shot one image by the water and another in the boat yard, where we had to move a boat into the right position. You’d be amazed at how light the boats are, I thought they’d blow away in the wind.
