'You can hear the screams when Harry Styles has arrived': Dave Benett on photographing London's biggest star

I’ve been photographing Harry Styles since the One Direction days. He hadn’t blossomed by then. He was obviously already the beautiful boy, but no one realised just how talented he was. Apart from Simon Cowell, maybe. 

He’s grown up in front of my eyes; he’s a great survivor. And the girls go mad for him. You can always hear when he’s arriving somewhere, with all the screaming fans – girls and boys screaming. He actually has to live in secret places because the fans are so crazy about him. I’m lucky enough to usually photograph him inside events and parties, but on the red carpet it’s chaos.
