Please
do not adjust your screens. If you think
that you have seen images like this released on the internet in 2010 then you
are correct. If you can see some
startling alterations then you are further correct. Links below will guide you to the initial photographic
and written output. If any other
reasoning than time travel erupts to explain away these pictures then please
dismiss it. Just recently Andrew and I
took a trip to Featherstone Castle and recreated some of the poses from
2010. We used projected images to fix
the positions but without patience, poise and balance our efforts would have
failed in comparison to the success we have to show you here.
It
is just possible that my claims in the paragraph above are as fantastic as Andrew’s
persona and I hope as well spun as his outfits.
As a storyteller and raconteur he is able to weave wonderful creations
with words. As a natural showman and bon
vivant he makes entertainment in his world wherever he wishes to shine. Taking these photographs was a true
pleasure. Andrew stepped into the studio
space set up in the castle and performed for the lens. He was a willing subject who performed rather
than posed and took on any role to suit the request made of him.
These
photographs were taken using two studio flash units. One was reflected on a
silver brolly and the other was reflected on and through a translucent white
brolly. The two light sources were set to gently overpower the ambient room
lighting and to generate a crisp but warm light. I hope that the rich tones
come through and help to show Andrew Macpherson’s finery in a fitting a light?
These poses were set to the most amusing banter and I am pleased if the joy of
taking these pictures comes through to you in the images presented here.
