MIRANDA COLLINGE

Shortlisted for the PPA Magazine Writer of the Year award for her work on Esquire, our features director specialises in stories of unusual people doing unexpected things. Cranks, obsessives, quixotic quests — all are grist to Collinge’s mill. For our design and technology issue, she profiles a very strange fish and the people who keep it, that takes in the two themes while avoiding the clichés that attach themselves to both topics. She also meets

Asif Kapadia, director of Senna, Amy and, now, a film about another strange fish: Diego Maradona.
