It’s not everyday you get an invite to photograph someone in their bed with their wife. Especially not a celebrity, at least not in my line of photography. Ok - so I’ve worked with Romesh Ranganathan 3 times before, but working with Romesh and his wife Leesa in bed, sounded like it could potentially be a recipe for crossing personal boundaries. PJ’s were in place - so everything respectable, but still an insight into the domestics. I didn’t hang out in the bedroom for a week to catch the natural ambience of the Ranganathan marital bedroom, but we staged it to illustrate Ranganathan’s article about what it is to be his wife, the receiving end of many of Romesh’s comedy standup shows.
Both were fun to work with, a true testament to how genuine Romesh is in his comedy and performances.
We parted ways with an elbow five, and a promise that the next job would be traveling to Wuhan, China.
