The short guy who refused to remove his sunglasses would no doubt relish being called a 'Titan', and that awesome shirt the host is wearing makes me homesick for Canada. Another great video with a deeply moving account of a genuine and kind interaction. The love we give is the best we can leave to others.
The segment about Peaches was very moving. We never really know how life is going to turn out or which photo out of thousands that will become the most precious. Also, the photos of Bob from the second shoot are stunning , both in the way they were shot and what Bob is showing us.
I've fallen into a major wormhole with your channel, and absolutely love the videos. You're a brilliant storyteller and love the bond you have with your family including Fred, the content maker! Please make more, they're really interesting in a cultural and artistic way. :)
As always, you have captivated me with your immersive storytelling. The story about Peaches really stood out to me, and is indicative of the person you are. I feel that this deep, empathetic understanding that you possess is an essential pillar of how/why you have succeeded in your career. How special it is that you were instrumental in capturing that imprint of a loved life. I have beem incredibly lucky to meet some of my heroes (for example, Australian adventurer Dick Smith), and those have been some of the most special and privileged moments of my life so far. Thanks again for uploading these videos, I look forward to all that is to come.
What a lovely video. Not just a great insight into your approach, and honest reflection on your own vulnerability, as well as demonstrating a man at the top of his craft, but a deep, empathetic human connection. Thanks for sharing your very moving story of these interactions and photographs. We all long to be seen. To be noticed. To be loved. To be appreciated. And even iconic figures like Geldof must as well. With your gesture, spontaneously sending him the photos of his daughter, you touched something very deep in you both. Thanks. Joe (Dundee, Scotland)
13 Minutes of fabulousness! That was a cracking set of tales, passed on beautifully to the camera. I could feel that emotion towards the end. I cannot say that about many other channels on UA-cam. Sadly I had forgot about Peaches passing, until covered later in the video.... Some say never meet your heroes. I try all the time and do, but taking their photos is another level on top. Then as a paying job.... and to get the results like you consistently do.... One big layered cake that! I tip my hat to the video, squeezed a lot into 13 minutes.
Fascinating video. Very poignant and sad too. I'm only a rookie portrait photographer, but one of the reasons I like this genre so much is that I hope to record people for prosperity. Thanks for another great behind the scenes video.
Came for the photography talk, stayed for the story and the humanity. A great video. I actually remember reading that Guardian interview, and vividly remember the Miranda Sawyer quote you read aloud.
I enjoy all your videos (and your photography!) but this one was especially wonderful. What a great insight into Sir Bob's personality and your mutually respectful relationship. Very moving too about poor Peaches.
I was never a fan of Bob but your video has changed that,I was brought to tears when you talked about Peaches and the photos you sent him, thank you for sharing this insight to Mr Geldof. And thanks for all your other videos it's a great series.
This one was special, thank you, especially the email from Bob Geldof at 10:38 minutes. I've been binge-listening to your videos today, as I edit to correct metadata in my massive music collection.
That's an amazing episode Harry. Always have admired Bob Geldof and loved the humanity and sensitivity shown by you at such a difficult time. On a side note, photographed Bob when he visited UCC many years ago, a Pr gig so not that much interaction. I did ask one of his "people" if they could ask if he'd sign a cd (cheeky), which he kindly did. A lovely keep sake to have from (imho) a great person. As ever thank you for sharing.
Such a privilege that you share these stories and images with us. Hope some day that you can put them together in your own Gregory Heisler style book. Cheers mate
I’ve been enjoying watching your videos, and this one was particularly interesting and ultimately particularly touching. Hope to see more of your work in time. Peace x
The "Peaches" moment was indeed very moving... very nice piece! Thanks guys.. Could I have a little wish, I would love to hear about some current works, if possible, of course..
We strive for the loftiest of goals to have our work effect as many people as possible but sometimes having our images touch one person the right way is far more valuable than any published work.
Please stop with this uploads! ....they are just too good and I really do have work to be getting on with :) Love all the great tips you casually throw in along the way, very engaging, I'm in.
@harryborden6077 I think she would have been fascinating to photograph. Sadly, the whole thing with Paula turned out to be nothing short of a Shakespearean Tragedy.

Thanks a lot! Appreciate the comment - I totally agree.
I saw Bob in that suit on the tour - he was incredible.
He's great!

Incredible story. What a kind thing to do to send the Peaches pictures and I love how that kindness was returned.
Thanks for watching Kenny! 😁

Class act Harry - thoroughly enjoyed your chats to camera - this one is a bit more so, well done.

Thank you Joe what a lovely comment. 😊
What a brilliant story. Thanks for sharing it. I'm not at all surprised about Bob's connection and response. He's a class act like you.
Thanks a lot!
Soft Skills, Empathy, navigating sensitivity -- some of the most valuable and difficult to master skills of the portrait photographer.
Lovely story - thanks for sharing

Jesus Harry now you have me tearing up
Great story Harry and refreshing to know that it’s sometimes ok to meet your heroes 😉

Wow, thank you - glad your enjoying them!
Love Bob Geldof! Great episode Harry!
How many photographers have tried to get Bono to take his glasses off for glare haha. Another fantastic video, thank you for these stories.
Imagine trying to get Jeff Lynne to do it.
This one was special, thank you, especially the email from Bob Geldof at 10:38 minutes. I've been binge-listening to your videos today, as I edit to correct metadata in my massive music collection.
Thank you so much. It's so cool people using our videos on in the background while they get stuff done. Thank you for commenting!

Thanks a lot mate! Definitely well get a physical book on this side of his work down the line!
Money can never buy heart warming stories like this. Thank you for sharing !!
Love your description of ‘wanting and simultaneously NOT wanting ‘the job’…I’ve had that quite a few times…every day is day 1 sometimes…
Just brilliant. Thank you
Thank you too!
Incredible. Great narrative. Thank you
I’ve been enjoying watching your videos, and this one was particularly interesting and ultimately particularly touching. Hope to see more of your work in time. Peace x
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoy our channel. Plenty more on the way 😉
The "Peaches" moment was indeed very moving... very nice piece! Thanks guys.. Could I have a little wish, I would love to hear about some current works, if possible, of course..
Thanks for the comment! Our videos on Jeremy Clarkson and Keir Starmer were shot this year. We also have Ottolenghi video coming soon!

Great stories. Thanks.
This is very illuminating and extremely poignant. Not just about photography, but about life.
Thank you!
Lovely story.
Thank you! 😁
Thank you!
The front page image reminds me of a broken tree trunk with a sprout of growth.
@@ivanconnolly7332 beautiful
Why am I not in the least bit surprised Geldof was pally with Thatcher.
Did you ever photograph Paula?
No, I never met Paula.
@harryborden6077 I think she would have been fascinating to photograph. Sadly, the whole thing with Paula turned out to be nothing short of a Shakespearean Tragedy.
