Alice Russell/TM Juke Creative band promo shoot
December 11, 2008
We get to exercise a lot of weird ideas with our Brighton Source magazine covers, and have had maybe a years worth under our belt- but even sometimes we think we may have gone a bit to far in the time we get given.
Fortunately Garage Studios is a big space, the biggest photography studio and training centre in town, so we can build some odd sets and work on Matt (art director) obsession with perspective based shots.
You can see in the video how the set was built up, and we can do the same for you if you have a promo or a creative idea that you need to get a strong visual for.

Alice and TM Juke may be world class musicians, who record a prolific amount of work but getting them to stand still for a photoshoot is near impossible, as you can see Alice even dropped the Full English that we bought in specially for the picture!!
The theme for this shoot came from three areas, as DarkDaze was pushing to get a Christmas feel to the shoot (it was for the Dec/Jan issue of the mag) hence the red/white present stripes, Matt wanted the twisted 2d/3d perspective and TM Juke (seated) wanted it to tie in with their recent promos which were shot in a typically english cafe.
We needed a strong Graphic style, as the Source is a free magazine and needs to leap out at you. To do this we used a lot of lights to kill any possible shadows but also to emphasise the blocks at the front of the set. Just at the last minute when everything was ready to go we knocked the camera slightly out of position so that the perspective was skewed, after all we didnt want all that hard work to go unnoticed.
