While I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, I had good reason to hope for the best. The photographer sent a wonderful outline of the project with pictures of potential locations. Many of them were pretty gritty and industrial.
In other words, right up my alley.
The photographer even found a stylist! She made me a little tulle bustle thing, which was actually quite a fun accessory. She even let me keep it!
So off we went... we had scouted some locations the evening before and found some fun improvised locations along the way. Without really trying, various colour themes seemed to reoccur, and colour ended up playing a key role. From what I've seen of the photographer's work, he does a lot of black and white. We looked at a couple of the shots we took in black and white and the aesthetic value of the photo decreased dramatically.
What can I say? I'm a colourful gal.
Except for the part where I'm two shades darker than chalk...
Anyhoo!
We took about 450 photos and together chose 144 that were worth touching up. Of those, I've made an even smaller selection that will later be used for promotional purposes.
Aside from the wonderful photos, I have many (many) souvenir scrapes and bruises! There were a few sketchy moments (so much pigeon poop...), as well as the one or two times where I probably could have seriously hurt myself. But in the end, I didn't get hurt, so I guess the moments can be considered as inspired in lieu of stupid!
I have also discovered that putting a camera in front of me suddenly makes me believe I'm flexible. All this does is provide photographic proof that I'm not, as well as giving me a sore back.
With 144 photos to choose from, it's hard to pick just one to highlight the adventure. As such, here's a small taste of the (untouched) photos!
