Such an interesting fella. Maybe one of coolest people I've shot. When I recorded this, I also mentioned Sam Raimi's 'A Simple Plan' which is brilliant but Fred edited that bit out! Anyone else seen? 🙂
Great pictures. Great channel
What a photo – and even better video. Appreciate you doing these.
BillyBob looked like the happiest man in the world with that smirk you captured as he was getting the kiss, it was almost a knowing smirk to the camera.
Brilliant story teller! Thanks 👏
Hi Fred and Harry.
Harry, skiing off piste again, good lad. Enjoy the rest of the week fellas. Laters…
Harry clearly relished the raging photographers who didn't get the shot.
Very cool 😎
"I know man, I know…"
– Billy Bob Thornton's face.
Harry knows how to tell a compelling story, that often times equal to his photography.
The intensity needed for both is present, undeniable.
Haha the other photographers must’ve been screaming crying inside from that shot. Awesome.
He was fantastic in the 1st season of Fargo
Love this vlog , young Man.
Great channel.
You have to be proud of your work.

About 15 years ago I was visiting Legoland Windsor with my kids. It was winter, no-one was in the park at all, and we ended up in the nearly empty Lego shop. The only other customers were annoyingly loud American woman who was encouraging her kids to buy one of everything. We were ready to go, so when I saw the American heading to the till with a thousand boxes I cut in ahead of her as fast as I could go. Standing at the till I looked out through the glass windows and saw five security guards dressed like Men in Black standing in front of the shop all staring at me. Following the direction of their gaze I turned my head around to the American woman standing in the queue behind me. Angelina Jolie stared back at me. She wasn't smiling.
The comment about not being, or not appearing to be, 'greedy'. That was the whole pivot on being successful for this.
Billy Bob has a band called the Boxmasters. They are on tour in the USA this summer. All small venues, even ACL in Austin! I'm hoping to catch a show!
I would have liked that balcony shot with a slightly shorter crop on the top.
After blowing through a dozen or more videos on this channel I'm prepared to officially bestow the "Best Storyteller on YouTube" award to Harry. Perceptive; riveting; entertaining; inspirational. Living vicariously through Fred and Harry's great work.
Great story Harry !
What a character,two for the price of one,photographers dream
Big fan of Billy Bob Thornton. He’s magnetic on screen imo. And comes across as a really cool guy in interviews.
Don't care about celebrities whatsoever.
Always great storytelling. thanks.
I disagree that your shots aren't "on the same level as Chris Buck's". Personally I think the photo of Billy Bob Thornton p1ssing is just childish and stupid, it reminds me of the photos the lads took in the barracks when I was in the Army after they'd drunk a heap of rum and started taking photos of each other mooning the camera and p1ssing off the balcony and doing random stupid things. Or photos taken at teenage parties when everyone was drunk and trying to outdo each other with more and more drunken teenage stupidity. Just idiots with cameras and too much alcohol and time on their hands. Nothing classy about that shot, any idiot could have taken that childish shot….but that's just my thoughts. I prefer your shots by a country mile.
Cool story Harry, would love to hear more about the gear. Also maybe I missed the mention at the start but the light on the balcony feels very LA! Amazing to make London sparkle like this that.
