I was recently asked by a thespian pal of mine if I fancied joining her and some actorly pals to shoot some promo pix for a new play they’ve coming up.
It’s entitled ‘Memories of Water’ and is apparently about some estranged sisters who are drawn home after a death in the family, and they don’t get on and all remembered their pasts differently.
If you could take a photo of that, that’d be lovely. That was my brief.
Set by this joker. We call her She Rah. Nothing like making life difficult.
But I likes a challenge.
We hooked up at Roundhay Park, under glorious sun, and I started with a safe shot, of potentially estranged sisters by water.
Not messing about there eh?
I tried a touch of out of focus blur.
Or I may have miss-focused, but don’t tell anyone.
I left loads of space around to add text on this one if need be
Selective depth of field.
One of the girls had a phobia of birds and butterfly. That’s a choice, overarching selection of fears right there.
More blurry fun. It makes a change to get to use these ones!
I quite like the fact that half the sky was grey and half blue. If you’re all arty & that you could interpret that all arty and that.
And this was the one the director liked. I spose it’s open to interpretation.
But there we are. An afternoon hangin out & being creative with actor ladies is not an afternoon misspent.
ps. If I can get hold of a copy of the final brochure I’ll blog it here.
