take photos on many of his blockbuster films, including The Fifth Element and Joan of Arc. Stills from Nil by Mouth and Joan of Arc are available in published in book form. After taking a break from shooting film stills to focus on other work, including an exhibition about Los Angeles homeless population, English returned in 2008 to shoot Roger Donaldson's The Bank Job. This began a stint of working on acclaimed British films, including Paddy Considine's BIFA award-winning directorial debut Tyrannosaur, Tomas Alfredson's Oscar nominated and BAFTA award-winning Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Peter Strickland's BIFA award-winning Berberian Sound Studio and Lynne Ramsay's BAFTA award-winning short film Swimmer. English's stills from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy were particularly lauded, featuring on the cover of Italian Vogue's February 2012 issue and as part of a travelling exhibition sponsored by Paul Smith. In 2013, English worked on Gavin O'Connor's Jane Got a Gun, Woody Allen's Magic in the Moonlight and Morten Tyldum's The Imitation Game. In 2014, he photographed the stills of Luca Guadagnino's A Bigger Splash. Style and influences In his feature film work, English has said that he thinks about the style and context of any film he works on, and how to replicate this in his pictures. He has said that when it comes to his work he finds ‘painters more influential – the Surrealists, for example. He has mentioned Francis Bacon as an influence on his work on Nil By Mouth and the work of Irving Penn on his work on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Other photographers English admires include Paul Graham, Chris Killip, German visual artist Gerhardt Richter, Saul Leiter and Ralph Gibson.
