Dame Jilly Cooper // The New York Times.


Dame Jilly Cooper photographed for The New York Times. It was a great pleasure to have the opportunity to photograph the celebrated author, Jilly Cooper, at her home in Gloucestershire. It was certainly one of the funnest shoots I’ve been on. Jilly was a great host, provided lunch of Shepherd’s Pie and champagne. She was interviewed by the New York Times ahead of the release of an adaptation of one of her books, Rivals, on Disney channel. Full interview here:
