NPG: Rashford and Berners-Lee, influencers for good

            Meet Sir Tim Berners-Lee and, in the background, Marcus Rashford.

It was Berners-Lee who invented the World Wide Web in 1989, and gave it to the world for free. And Rashford is not only an exceptional professional footballer, but also a campaigner against child hunger, homelessness and racism.

I captured this formidable duo by chance at the National Portrait Gallery in London. I say 'by chance' because the images behind the sculpture change constantly, every few seconds.

The sculpture is by Sean Henry, who modelled it in clay before casting it in bronze and painting it. The photograph (a gelatin silver print) is by Misan Harriman - another highly influential man.
