recent work : recession case study
January 15th, 2009 | Published in recent work
This shot was used to illustrate a story about people having to work extra hours to stay in business during these tough economic times.
After figuring out the best pose for the shop owner in the window, I lit the inside of the shop with two hotshoe flashguns on radio remotes and let the exposure outside go dark to give a better impression of “working late”. Then I asked one of the shop assistants to walk past the front of the shop to give a bit of added interest. A tripod and a slow shutter speed helps to give a sense of motion.
This was shot at the McArthurGlen designer shopping village just outside Bridgend.
