Having mates like Luke Stevenson means that, not only does Elliott get to photograph his fair share of magnificent carp, but he’s also able to twist the arm of the usually shy, Essex big-carp man into spilling the beans once in a while (holding his pictures to ransom usually does it). Elliott met...
