I’m beyond excited to finally share a project that’s been close to my heart for nearly nine months. In 2022/23, I had the incredible honour of working on Andor  Season 2 at Pinewood Studios, collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on what has undoubtedly been one of the most rewarding gigs of my career so far. As both a Portrait Gallery Photographer and 2nd Unit Stills Photographer, I got the chance to work alongside some of the most talented people in the industry, and I’m still pinching myself that this dream opportunity came true.

The energy, creativity, and passion that went into making Andor  Season 2 come to life was nothing short of inspiring. It was a whirlwind experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have been a part of it.

Empire Magazine Jan 2025 issue, featuring: Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, Shot by Hayley Benoit. Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, Shot by Andrew Eccles. Ben Mendelsohn as Orson Krennic Shot by Des Willie.

But here’s the cherry on top: One of my portraits (above) made the cover of Empire Magazine 🙌🏾 My photograph of the talented Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma was chosen for the January 2025 issue, and seeing my work on such a prestigious platform has been an absolute dream come true. There’s something incredibly special about seeing your images in print, and to have this particular one featured so prominently is something I’ll never forget.

While I can only share this one image for now, I promise there’s much more to come! Watch this space for more of the portraits and stills I shot during my time on Andor S2.  There are some incredible behind-the-scenes moments I can’t wait to share with you all.

A huge thank you once again to everyone at Lucasfilm for trusting me with this project and for giving me the opportunity to contribute to such an amazing series. I’m so proud of the work we did, and I can’t wait for you to see the final product — and the images I captured — when Andor Season 2 hits screens on Disney+.
