“I have always loved motorbikes, and been fascinated by road racing

in particular,” says the photograph­er, who shoots the North West 200, one of the fastest and most dangerous courses in the world. “The race has this perfect combinatio­n of the mundane and the bizarre — a residentia­l road with 20 bikes tearing down it at 190mph. The best place to watch it is someone’s front garden, preferably with a cup of tea and sandwich in hand.”

“I’ve always admired Gary

Lineker,” says Kelly, a fellow broadcaste­r who profiles the footballer turned TV star turned social media voice of reason, “but I felt I should try and be as evenhanded as possible. Yet, in a world full of manufactur­ed celebritie­s and vacuous tweeters, the truth that emerged from my pile of random thoughts is that we’re very lucky to have him. What started as a portrait ended up as a love letter.”

Simon Emmett

“He reminded me a lot of when I first worked with

Thierry Henry,” the photograph­er says of Paul Pogba. “Bit of a joker, can’t

take anything seriously, just wants to have a good

time. It was quite refreshing. He’s not prepping himself up to be a male model or anything,

he’s much more into taking the mickey out of himself.” One of our most cherished contributo­rs,

Emmett’s work also appears in Vanity Fair and The New York Times.
