I have some of groups that have been on xfactor and all that but they don't count as celebs
 
Does Johnny Wark count? (Legendry Ipswich Town Footballer from Scotland), starred in a film with Michael Caine! :cool:;)

I know her! One of the most pleasant, most helpful steam drivers its ever been my good fortune to meet never mind work with. A real Lady.:love: Unlike him, miserable old scrotes most of them are for most of the time, even wose than me! :razz:

My most famous meet and shoot by chance was probably Neal Armstrong oh, twenty odd years ago walking around an air show. Spoke and shook his hand as well. Nice bloke.......for a Yank!

But the BEST person you'll ever meet has to be your heart surgeon, after they've operated and when they say your clear to go home. Better than the midwife any day!
 
Bill Wyman and his girlfriend.

Outside of celeb portfolios/PR stuff I have casually shot Brian May, Kevin Spacey and Alex Baldwin. The latter was shooting a movie in a street in LA and gave me the look of death as I took the snap. It was a point and click so it wasn't as if I was a pap.

If I remember rightly that young Kirsty passed away either last year or earlier this year.

She's still very much alive. She turned 15 a few months ago and is still raising loads for charity.

Good grief Tony Kelly hasn't aged well! He was never the slimmest of players, but by jingo he could play! I always remember Wigan vs Bolton at Springfield Park (1993?), where he was incredible, and Dave 'Ding-dong-do' Higson compared him to Zico! :D:clap::D:cool:

That became his nick name, even that night he was introduced as Tony "but most of you know him as Zico" Kelly.

Dave Higson, I remember traveling down to Southampton on the rain as we past Walsall and he commented on the video they were doing looks like we are just outside Birmingham as we pass Villa Park. He used to like me as I took his half time tea pot up to the gantry on top of Manchester road stand at Burnden.

Dave Higson and Burnden Park - 2 Bolton greats that are sadly missed:crying:
Fave quote (after a goal by either 'Super' John McGinlay or Andy Walker) - "What a man, what a Scot, what a ding dong do!" :D:D:D

Great times!
 
Prince Andrew when he visited my workplace - sold to Talkback Thames for BBC Comedy:

I must be getting old - I hardly recognise any of the faces or names of the "celebrities" in this thread!

Prince Philip several years ago at a CLA Game Fair. Photo was comedy timing as he scratched his lip just as I took the photo, the still looks like he's just put his finger there in an "Oh what have I said" moment, rather apt I think :LOL:
 
Wouldnt say they were really famous, but most people will know them.

I worked on the fairly famous Gisburn v Menton tv commercials for Renault and the main character from these adverts is Claude, the Frenchman who introduces Joie de Vivre to gloomy Gisburn.

Here he is in the dance class learning to shake his thing.

I could make a fortune at work papping celebs but I think I'd loose my job!

I have, however, seen plenty of paps trying their luck. Including one girl who spent the whole day stood outside the building with a 1D and 300/2.8 waiting for Lenny Henry... Didn't have the heart to tell her he wasn't in!
 
I have an awful picture of myself and British Supermodel Agness Deyn taken on my phone, she was just so lovely.

Not a great pic either!
 
Jef Goldblum not long after he had made the FLY. I bumped into him in a gym with his personal trainer. He was very friendly and chatted quite happily with me for a few minutes.

The Hamster, filming at work for his 'Engineering Connections' series. He was a thoroughly nice fella, posing whenever he was asked, and had a laugh and a joke with everyone all day long.
He's a bit of a 'tog as well, I think he said he was on a 5D and a Leica M6

About 10 years ago got Posh & Becks at Legoland Windsor - think that was on an old APS camera though so I'll have to find the snaps and scan them!

Funny thing was we were walking round and there was a woman on her own looked just like Posh - I even remarked to my wife "Who does she think she is?"

When we went to come back up in the hillside tram thing the public were blocked from getting on, and so on went P&B, the youngest of their kids who is about the same age as my eldest so must have been 2 or 3, and this woman that we had seen who was obviously Poshes sister! Also in tow were the usual beefy bodyguards etc.

To be honest the pics are probably rubbish as they'd have been hurried and probably snapped over the rest of the mob waiting to get on the tram thing. I'll try and dig them out.
