I haven't explained it particularly well, and I wasn't particularly keen when we went as all the pictures in the window look terrible. However we pretty quickly narrow the shots down to three we like, and I'm interested to see what they look like when we eventually get our hands on them.
Once back, and a glass of G&T with Mrs Danvers later, we've only got time for a quick dinner - the classic mozzarella, peach, basil and parma ham salad.
Once again, the ham from Unearthed is on offer, and the [white-fleshed] peaches were reduced, so this meal seems to get cheaper the more we have. And every time we have it, because there's a spare packet of ham in the fridge, and half a packet of spinach, encourages you to eat it again.
Winter soon though, so this will obviously all stop in favour of pig knuckle stew.

Nope, you haven't explained it very well! Just promise to show us the final artwork when you get it. I am intrigued!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's well weird. So they took a load of shots of him and Ana, then they air brush the fuck out of them, and stick them on some 'artistic' backgrounds created by an in-house art team.
ReplyDeleteSo they're not just photos, they're art photos on crazy psychedelic/pre-raphelite backgrounds. Some looked good (hopefully the ones we've chosen), but the majority looked awful. I'll stick one up when we've got them
Sarah, I think I should add that we were 'offered' (read, slightly hassled) a free photo shoot and one free print. It was a new company and as we hadn't ever had any pro shots done I thought, why not?
ReplyDeleteWhen we went to look at the final product we were less than keen on many of the backgrounds and asked if we could just have them white (as the shots themselves were really great).This obviously isn't the way they want to work and the photographer persuaded us to go for the full effect!
We'll see... I'm glad we have a couple of decent photos of him while he is still little but I would have preferred 'Sarah White Images' anyday!
