He has photographed poster campaigns for James Bond, countless members of Hollywood’s elite and in war zones in Burma and Sierra Leone. Able to turn his lens to just about anything, Williams is the photographer behind authentic, off-duty moments with A-Listers, the likes of which we don’t often get to see.

Whether with Amber Heard in the backseat of her car or sandwiched between Jake Gyllenhaal and Josh Brolin on a boat at Venice International Film Festival, the British photographer is given access to stars in their most intimate moments. Named in January as the British Academy of Film and Television Arts‘ (BAFTA) inaugural Photographer in Residence, he is about to be granted the key to this year’s biggest film stars backstage, when the award ceremony comes to London in February.

Williams has been working with BAFTA on and off since 2005.

There is a lot of difference between photographing the BAFTAs and Williams‘ usual stylized shoots, he says, but both work equally well.

„I love the balance of my working life because I do stuff like this where all I’m using is my experience, my empathy, the contacts I’ve made over the years, and wit. A lot of the photos come incredibly last minute and very opportunistically. You shoot them very quickly and suddenly. One thing I love about that stuff is being the guy in the room.“

„I went to the Royal College of Art, which is literally just up the road,“ the Turkish-Canadian designer says. „In my first year it was exciting to have access to places like this, to be able to do research here was so amazing to me.“

Moralioglu, 39, is one of London’s most respected designers, earning commercial success and critical accolades (most recently the 2014 British Fashion Council’s Womenswear Designer of the Year award) with a feminine aesthetic that straddles fantasy and reality.

Cahn took her model from her former employer, Google, where she was head of sales and saw the benefits of the open system there.

Daniel Jackson shot supermodel Christy Turlington and Calvin Klein creative directors Francisco Costa, Italo Zucchelli and Kevin Carrigan for WSJ. Magazine. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.

But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
