TLC - BTS

At long last! Exercising Restraint is the title of the spread, but "exercising restraint" was the reality of waiting a couple of years for this concept to be shot, and then a few more months for it to be published so that now I'm finally free to share the final images, as well as some behind-the-scenes snaps.

The original idea... a page out of my sketchbook from about 2 years ago.

Joanna ensuring everything is perfect while Fred prepares to make his 1-2 captures before moving on to the next look. Seriously, we knew it had to be just right, because when you don't shoot digital, you only get a couple of takes.

Bronte striking her "Joan of Arc" pose. Ok, a true Joan of Arc
pose probably involves armour, but doesn't she look heroic?

Fred checking focus and Bronte holding still... for a very long time.

I was really happy this hair, but alas it doesn't show this view in the
final images... of course this is why we have bts images. :)

Just like the old days, with the photographer's head hidden inside
the black drape to focus the camera.

The final images published in TLC.
