Boo the cat was actually happy to be photographed wet! The cat assembled with the goldfish bowl and the water surface.
The Cast
Boo the cat: whose tendency to pull tongues was just perfect for this gig! She was also willing to be photographed with a wet fur look!
Squeak the mouse (RIP): Tracy's pet mouse which, over the course of her life endured many patient modelling assignments.
Tracy made droplets by pouring water over a similarly coloured fur garment Close up detail of the droplets of water on the cat's face.
Donald the goldfish: shot with an iPhone at the a aquatics centre which indulges Tracy's bizarre requests from time to time. (Small pouty mouth, orange coloured skin and a very small brain – go figure!)
The Set: courtesy of Poole museum who have a number of sets displaying rooms from the fifties. The fishbowl was also shot at the aquatics centre. The worktop and 'water' (which was in fact glycerine) were recycled from a previous composite.
There are 20 days to get ready for The Society of Photographers Convention and Trade Show at The Novotel London West, Hammersmith ...
