I’ve always thought that idea for anything bespoke starts with the conversation between client and the artist/supplier. So I view imagery as something that needs to be brought into existence, to evolve and be nurtured. So it’s rare that I go to an event where the set has already been designed, the costumes are already themed, etc. This is one of those rare cases.
The shoot was with Arabella and Tara in a show girl theme, featuring fabrics, bold lingerie and gelled lighting. I still took my own kit and at one point we had six lights operating with a mixture of coloured gels.
