Once upon a time I once had a thought about truly tackling the world of commercial photography.
So much so that, once upon a time, I spent a week in the studio working on a portfolio of images.
The initial shots were, well, mucky. But during that time I conceived something else.
Something original even (possibly, arguably).
Little did I know that my simple idea was going to be a hell of a difficult thing to actually capture in camera.
A hell of a difficult!! Because I had decided, even in those somewhat digital days, that I wanted to make as much of the image in-camera, with little post-production.
Each set up took two days to not get a fully realised version.
And I always thought there should be 3 photos in the series, but I couldn't come up with a decent third idea.
Needless to say, these amounted to nothing. The photos needed grading etc. From someone other than me.I moved on to other things. So the many, many sheets of film I shot that week have languished unseen in storage for the past four years.
Until now.

an iron?
now you mention it. yes. i did think about an iron, and i may even have had a play, but discounted it on the basis that the only ones that would cast an interesting shadow were those old non-electric ones. and that just didn't quite fit the highconceptcommercialphotographer concept.
might have made the concept a little higher. but less commercial I suppose.
but think of the irony
(sorry)
commerce. irony. hmmmm.
