My friend Paul Grundy the architectural photographer likes photographing things that preferably don’t move or talk back. Most buildings fit that category so when his wife Sarah who is a renowned film and televison makeup artist wanted some portraits of her work shooting to go toward a branding campaign he asked me if I would help and of course I jumped at the chance. The brief was sort of the right people in the wrong makeup. We came up with various ideas and settled on a few for the day. Casting was straightforward until we got to the skinhead. We couldn’t find one in time it seemed so I said “could you do it on me?” Have you ever wished you hadn’t opened your gob? This was one of those moments.
Now that it has been done….I am amazed and confused at how cool it looks even if I do say so myself! Plus it perfectly fitted the brief. My friend Marian Alonso actually took the picture.
Me taking one for the team!
