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 0 days to get ready for The Society of Photographers Convention and Trade Show at The Novotel London West, Hammersmith ...
which starts on Thursday 1st January 1970
