On Wednesday my friend Tristan Versluis<\/a> was shooting some pick-ups for a promo he’s directed for Linda Harrison<\/a>. The video was pretty much complete but they needed a few extra shots and I went along just to tag along and take some photographs for myself and anyone who wanted any; keeps me off the streets, or more accurately off the XBOX.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The shoot was in the upstairs room at The Old Queen’s Head<\/a>, near Angel tube, which has these fantastic ceiling light fixtures made from what looks like old gramophone horns. There’s an old, lived-in atmosphere to the place, leather covered booths, golden-framed mirrors, peeling paint and a wooden floor, although very little of that was going to be seen as it happens.<\/p>\n

Tristan just needed a few shots of a man approaching a woman in a dark, crowded bar while a band plays on the stage (which, obviously, was Linda herself – I don’t think I can tell you the name of the track yet though). It only took a couple of hours and didn’t give away any of the story but I’ve seen shots from the rest of the shoot and it’s a typical Versluis production; strikingly lit and shot by Stuart White and a deliciously twisted story focussed on a seductive woman (played by Annette Kellow<\/a>) and how she selects partners to take home, set to a terrific track by Linda Harrison that I still can’t tell you about, sorry. It’s going to be great<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, here’s my pick of the hundred-odd shots I kept from the afternoon, with captions here and there so you know what’s going on. Enjoy, and thanks for visiting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Make-up, actors, Tristan chatting, Stuart setting up lights...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This makes me laugh every time. Timing is everything \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Justyna Dobrowolska doing Annette Kellow's makeup as Tristan talks through the shots he needs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
The daylight on Annette's face was so strong the rest of the room is plunged into darkness <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
I really love this shot of Annette in makeup - that's the D700's own B&W; it's pretty good, and I'm lazy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Last minute hair touch-ups. One of the cameras in the background there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
There were lots of moments like this, Tristan and Stuart deep in discussion of lighting and framing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
I liked making silhouette shots of these two working, as you can see.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Annette looked simply stunning; reminded me of Mad Men a lot in these shots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
While the camera's weren't rolling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
The boys at work again. You can see the framing on Stuart's LCD.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Perhaps a touch too much headroom but I love the feel of this shot with the light behind her.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Linda Harrison in make-up before shooting her performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
I don't know what was in that cocktail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
They were shooting fast and light, with two Canon DSLRs running at once.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Stuart finding focus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
The moment Annette's character picks out her man for the evening<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Linda and the band setting up for their performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This was a lucky, I mean nice catch, with the two red beams picking Linda out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Linda really threw herself into her performance, every time, many times.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I love the balance to this image, as well as the moment it caught. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Perhaps bizarrely, this is definitely my favourite photo of the performance, really captures her energy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Final shot of the day, Tristan checking the last take before calling a wrap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
