Portrait photography for the Prince of Wales issue of Country Life Magazine

This is David Wilson, Farm Manager at the Duchy Farm Estate in Gloucestershire, chosen by HRH The Prince of Wales as a Country Champion for his guest edited issue of Country Life Magazine, celebrating his 70th birthday.

Whilst lying on the grass to capture this portrait, I spotted the emergence of a gap to the right behind David;  seizing the moment and the potential for a perfectly framed image, I rolled quickly (through a freshly laid cowpat) so that the gap was directly behind him.     My coat still bears hints of the evidence but it was worth it!
