Back around the middle of January I got in touch with Katie in the hopes of setting up a little shoot in the coming months. We threw a few ideas around and settled on a bit of a theme and a location in central London to meet up. Here is a quick sketch I did before the shoot of the sort of thing I was aiming to get, I think we pretty much got it too! :)
As usual with a lot shoots I arrange rain seemed to be involved and it decided to tag along with us almost all the time we were shooting. But we didn't let water spoil things so we pitched the tent made of sheets, hoisted the bunting, lit the candles (which blew out immediately) and pulled the creepy doll out of the bag!
I am still working on the photos and waiting for the film to be developed but here is a bit of a preview of what we managed to get before having to give in to the rain, cold and dark. :P
After we were done shooting we went to dry out and warm up in a nearby cafe and while enjoying a beer I got to talk to Katie about all things photography! What could be better? :D It was pleasure to work with her, and I hope we can collaborate in some way again in the future!
Be sure to follow, like and look at all the places Katie calls home on the internet: Website / Facebook / Twitter / Blog

ReplyDeleteHehe, I am glad to hear that Katie! :) You deserve any kindness I can muster with words, I had a great day and it was wonderful to work with you! Next time though... let's meet in the sun. :P
Deleteyou guys set up a tent together in the cold?! adore the creative braveness. i have had my hand at shooting in the cold before but definitely not building a set on a day like that. wow :)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't the most glamorous thing to set up but it was fun! :D
