Squeeze Photo Shoot

I was really looking forward to this shoot. Squeeze are one of my favourite bands of all time. Genius lyrics with fantastic melodies, what more could you want. I made my way to South East London and met up with the band at Glenn Tilbrook's recording studio. Glenn arrived about the same time as me. Chris Difford arrived about 10 mins later. There were some other people arriving to help out with hair makeup etc. The rest of the band also arrived. Then we were ready to get going. Sadly, today being Friday 13th was raining heavily. So, we had to be very careful where we were going to shoot. Whilst the band were getting dressed and having hair and makeup, I went out for a drive with one of Squeeze's managers, Matt. We were looking for suitable locations that were dry or at least under some kind of shelter. We found a few suitable locations and drove back to the studio to collect everyone. The first stop was a cafe, how funny, we were all hungry by now. But more importantly there was a pool table at the end of the cafe. So, we all had lunch when I shot some candid photos, then after lunch we did some portraits around the Poole table. We then left and went to another location which was a strange old tunnel somewhere around Greenwich or Charlton. I am not sure where it was, I am way out of my comfort zone in South East London. We shot all of the outside stuff as quickly as possible and headed back to the studio. We did a load more shots back at the studio which took quite a while. I must say, that it was lovely working with all of them. They were all a pleasure to work with. It was now late in the day and dark and raining. we finished and I started to put all of my studio lighting and cameras away in the car. Then we said our goodbye's and I headed off in to the traffic and headed back across London. When I was driving back I was thinking about the shots that we had done and I knew we should all be happy with them. Well, I would be at least..
