It was a pleasure to photograph Ann Treneman for The Times recently, a shoot that resulted in my first cover for The Times Weekend supplement and my first image on the cover of The Times newspaper.

Until September 2015, Ann was The Times Parliamentary sketchwriter after which she became the paper’s chief theatre critic. A keen weekend gardener, Ann subsequently studied horticulture and landscape architecture with both the RHS and the University of Sheffield.

The Times article details Ann’s preparations for her garden designed for this year’s Chelsea flower show. The shoot took place in Ann’s garden in Bakewell, Derbyshire.
