The shot above is part of a long-term filming and photography assignment I’m working on for a residential construction build in Manchester. I’ve been doing a lot of video work for the project (see my BUILD preview), but yesterday was the first time we got to try out some posed stills on site.
Photographing and filming on a busy working building site, after 3 weeks of constant rain, is hard and dirty work. As someone who is quite anal about looking after their equipment and keeping it shiny, it’s also a bit stressful. You’re looking at the sort of sad git who didn’t use his new bike as a wee lad for a week or so in case it got dirty. I just liked to look at it, for a while.
Anyway, plenty more like this to come. Just hope the mud dries up a bit in the meantime…
