Okay, so after taking a bit of a battering in the last issue by a desperate housewife, I have licked my wounds, and I am back....Okay I'm joking, but I do wish to fight back slightly. I won't disrespect another photographer by referring to them by their surname but will just point out a couple of key points for Laura's benefit, and the benefit of the other readers who may have missed the point, although judging by the response I had to her article, I think most do get it. Firstly, at no stage did I say that my feature was supposed to be some sort of interpretation of the trashy novel discussed. It was merely a tongue in cheek piece of humour at the start of the article which referred to the book.
The article, I'm sure most folk will realise, was a test on the pocket wizards, and apart from using some kinky props, that was the end of the 50 Shades side of thing. Secondly, and more importantly, I haven't read the book, and neither had the model. As I said, I merely used the chat on Facebook as a reason to dig out some props I already had. So enough about my famous props cupboard, and on to this month's article.
There are 21 days to get ready for The Society of Photographers Convention and Trade Show at The Novotel London West, Hammersmith ...
which starts on Wednesday 15th January 2025
