Blue River, Band Portraits in Cornwall, 21.7.19
Where were these photographs taken?
These photographs were taken around Pool, St. Just and Sennon Cove, Cornwall.
Some words about the shots…
The hardest thing about working with the same bands frequently is not retreading the same steps creatively or even being lured into a sense of security that because you’re frequently being rebooked that means you can deliver less quality.
As always with Blue River, it’s important to capture the essence of the band in terms of personality but also in terms of their relationship with their home county of Cornwall (which I’m sure Perran will agree is a strong relationship).
As you can see from the photographs we mixed it up between some of the most beautiful areas that Cornwall has to offer, mixed with more industrial places. In hindsight, perhaps I could have gone even wider and shown more of the landscape but doing so would have jeopardised the band being the bigger subject in the frame.
I’m thinking about doing some more focused blog posts, maybe on location scouting, how best to work with models/ bands etc in the future…watch this space!
Some words about the band…
