As an 11-year-old Oli Kellett took a photo of a flower which his granny bought for £5. Feeling like he had hit the big time, he continued to take photos in the hope that he would soon be able to retire early. Twenty or so years later, Oli is still taking photos, both commercially and for longer-term projects. He is no way near retiring.
Alex Holder is a Partner at advertising agency Anomaly London. Her projects often make worldwide press and range from a photographic recreation of Mills & Boon romance covers (shot with Oli Kellett), to the political ‘Make Them Pay’ campaign that sought to end the pay gap between men and women with Elle magazine. It earned 83 million hits and backing from the Prime Minister.

‘New British Wine’. 224pp, hardback, 196 x 255mm. Text by Abbie Moulton, photography by Maria Bell.
‘British Wine’ was once shorthand for bad imported grape mush. Not any more. The rise of sustainable methods, youthful experimentation and, dare we say it, a new climate, mean that Britain is no longer the home of a few fine sparklings but a whole roster of dynamic reds, pinks and even oranges. This book celebrates the people who are growing, producing and championing the best of New British Wine.
