I've wanted to make a portrait of Emma for a very, very long time (ever since I saw Happy Endings perform inside Hull's Holy Trinity Church as part of a homeless charity fundraising gig) so it was great to finally find the time to arrange something.
We kept the concept simple with a classic one light set-up against a plain grey background, the only light source being a large 150cm Broncolor Octabox which was feathered across the scene which gave a very soft low-key light.
Despite the apparent seriousness of most of the finished pictures it was a really enjoyable and relaxed shoot. Emma was an absolute pleasure to work with, generous with her time and (unsurprisingly) a fount of musical knowledge! A big thank you as well to Bob Swan from White Suit Creative for photo assisitng and doing a fantastic job keeping the shoot flowing.
