When I was about 13 years old and a pupil at Tiverton High School in Devon, crime drama Starsky & Hutch was the coolest show on TV. I would watch it with my dad on Saturday nights and loved its two stars, David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser. During school lunchtimes I’d go to the town centre with my friends and we’d re-enact the opening credits sequence, grabbing and hurling each other into cars.
So when I was offered the chance to meet and photograph David Soul, I immediately said yes. It was a commission for and involved shooting portraits of him at the Channel Four building in central London.
