THE 2 ND PHOTO-SHOOT: ORGANISATION AND EXECUTION
In setting up the photo-shoot I early on encountered a major
problem. I’d been communicating with a lecturer involved in
physical theatre at the University of Kent and had requested that
some of her students might like to volunteer to take part in my
project. However her response was Luke warm. The major
stumbling block was that because the session might involve semi
nudity she felt this was an inappropriate thing she could
recommend. I’d replied that this could be avoided suggesting
suitable strategies and had asked if she would reconsider.
However as time was marching close to the deadline date I
decided that I needed to rethink who would collaborate with me.
Freya volunteered her help again but it left me with another
problem in that I felt the project needed at least two volunteers,
and one of these should be a male. I cast around for prospective
collaborators but those I contacted found my request either
weird, or could not give of their time on the dates I’d set aside for
the photo-session. In my desperation I thought of a work
colleague who was sympathetic to my arts practice, but felt that it
was too much to ask him to pose with Freya. As this dilemma
increased due to my worry that I’d not get anyone to pose for me
in time an idea came to me that would radically change the
dynamics of the photo-shoot. Instead of my friend posing for me
why couldn’t he take the photographs?
This seemed to fit perfectly with what I was doing. He had been a
professional photographer and had expressed a desire to work
with me on a project before. The other advantage was that I could
pose with my partner Freya and she was already familiar with the
types of things I was attempting to achieve. Having discussed the
project with my friend and shown him some of the early images
he became enthusiastically involved.
