You can skip down to the bottom of this post for a film clip from the session, or enjoy some behind-the-scenes photos & stories below..
It all started, as a lot of these thing seem to do, in front of a Tube station. Whitechapel, in fact, and the occasion was another photoshoot with Andraz Blaznik. The plan was to get a short film & story together about an overly self-conscious young lad and his early xmas present - a more-than-just-lifelike doll.
Other than Andy & myself, the crew consisted of Barbara for makeup, Kelly & Mikael as models, Linda as the coproducer and Katja as the indespensible assistant. Following the makeup process (I am sometimes just so thankful for not being a girl), we dove right in. Although winter was just stepping in, the first set was an outdoors one, which was too cold for comfort even for the ones of us that were wearing gloves & actual clothes.. Can't even begin to imagine what it was like for the models..
Alas, the relentless stare of the doll did eventually prove to be too much for the guy to bare, but at least we did get to enjoy a fireworks display from the terrace over the 2012 site..
But a picture tells a thousand words, the film is bound to tell so much more:
Me and My Doll
