\"sir<\/p>\n

\"lord<\/p>\n

I had the pleasure of photographing Richard Attenborough a few years ago in Los Angeles at Sony Studios. I photographed him for the film Juraissic Park, he won an Oscar for directing Ghandi.<\/p>\n

My dad was a huge fan I remember telling my father that I was about to photograph\u00a0Richard Attenborough and my dad jokingly said hopefully he will remember your name at the end of the photo session. It was the first time I had heard the story about Sir Richard. So that is how my conversation started when I met him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 I remember the light being perfect for what I needed for the portrait.
\nI had just started using a plastic film camera.\u00a0 The magazine loved\u00a0 the look of\u00a0the photos when using this plastic action camera,but\u00a0you had to have a lot of movement when using it.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I remember telling\u00a0Richard Attenborough exactly this and he was a true professional.\u00a0 He asked what should we do ?\u00a0 and I jokingly said how about we start with some breakdancing.\u00a0 To my shock he immediately started dancing, seconds later we both burst into laughter, I would hardly call it breakdancing and in the same sentence saying you’re looking more like a boxer. And this is exactly what we did not many people can say they have sparred with\u00a0Richard Attenborough, I have and the good thing was he did remember my name when we said goodbye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
