A big one for Sport for their tenth anniversary edition; we went out to Madrid to shoot Gareth Bale, who featured in the magazine ten years ago at the very start of his career. We shot him post-training at the club’s extensive facilities on the city’s edge. The magazine was running a double cover edition so it was then up to Sheffield to shoot Jessica Ennis-Hill who I have had the pleasure of photographing a few times before. To give the whole edition a celebratory vibe Serge Seidlitz then illustrated across the whole edition. Some behind the scenes images too of the days shot by Naomi Baker. As a sports portrait photographer it was great working with Gareth and Jessica.
