8 minute fashion film

Danish Wakeel's Demise by Temptation

August saw me produce an 8 minute film for fashion designer Danish Wakeel, titled Demise by Temptation.

Set in Bodium castle, I also used my studio for some of the cutaways and other scenes as the castle time was limited.
A pretty grim tale of a seductress who seems to have supernatural powers. I had nothing to do with the story but hey, fashion was always weird!

An unusual twist as gothic meets fashion

The title says it all! Here's a small selection.

New short film - behind the scenes at a typical fashion shoot

Although I released an earlier version of this 1 minute film last month, this is a revamped and reworked version which amongst other things includes more footage from.My up and coming YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/alanharbord?feature=mhee

Look Alan … there's a snail in your lens

That was no joke. I set up choosing a white backdrop to sit behind the two trees and put my camera down on the grass and popped back into the studio to see how hair and make up was doing. When all ready we returned outside and started shooting at which point model 'Danielle' said something I've never heard before - "There's a snail in your lens". I thought it was some kind of strange joke but deep within the bellows style hood of my Hasselblad was sitting a snail! Certainly a new experience for me!

Model Danielle Bromley sought to add to her model portfolio. Providing portfolio photography for models can be demanding for original ideas and so for this shoot I wanted to bring a tree into the photo studio; only that wasn't possible! Besides fake sets in studios can often look … well fake! So I set up a large backdrop behind a tree. The ivy took some brushing to get all the cobwebs and dust off!
