Sandi Toksvig’s Christmas Cracker

The Christmas season is upon us, but a lot of the preparation work is done months in advance. Back in October I was asked to photograph Sandi Toksvig for her Christmas Cracker in December. At the time the design team hadn't confirmed the look of the posters so I had to photograph Sandi in a variety of poses and costumes so that the designers had a range of images to work with.

These posters are currently visible throughout London, particularly on the Tube. Ronnie Corbett wasn't free when Sandi was so he had to be shot separately, unfortunately I didn't get to photograph him as I was already booked that day. Below you can see the image I took.

I photographed her using a white studio background that I hired and then set up in the Southbank Centre itself. Sandi was fantastic to work with, very enthusiastic and excellent fun. To see a few more of the images, please click on the thumbnails below. I particularly like Sandi's elf shoes.

Sandi Toksvig's Christmas Cracker runs from 15th December to the 24th and I've already booked my tickets, I would definitely recommend it.
