“On top of that, working with David Eustace and hearing about his time at the school is pretty cool – it’s going to be really interesting to see what the final project will look like.”

David Eustace is a renowned Scottish photographer who has worked with stars such as Dame Judi Dench, Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, Sophia Lauren and Ewan McGregor.
