Photography taken backstage at the 2009 Orange British Academy Film Awards by official BAFTA photographer Ellis Parrinder
Ellis Parrinder:
Being the official BAFTA photographer was such an AMAZING experience to me and I loved every moment. Being around people like Kate Winslet, Sharon Stone and Mickey Rourke was a pretty surreal and scary feeling, but you have no time to get nervous on these shoots as the actors come in and out of the photo area pretty quickly! The image I took of Meryl Streep is my favourite that I took during my BAFTA time, she looks beautiful and elegant and almost ghost like. It was the last shot she posed for and I said look to the light and she struck this dramatic pose.
