November 8, 2015: Dan and Phil's Sunday Times article is published featuring these now beyond iconic photos! 📰📸🔴⚫️

www.thetimes.com/culture/book...
Dan and Phil posing dynamically in their 2015 Sunday Times photoshoot. Dan is turned towards Phil and pointing awkwardly while Phil is turned towards the camera with his hands in a weird Spiderman-like pose. Another dynamic pose, this one with Phil doing the same Spiderman hands at the camera and Dan turned towards Phil with a huge smile and absolutely ridiculous heart eyes. Dan and Phil leaning towards the camera and staring down the lens in the same photoshoot. The final and perhaps most iconic photo of this shoot: Dan standing behind Phil with his arms crossed on Phil's shoulders, both of them looking rather shell-shocked at the camera.
