I had such a positive response regarding the shoot with Juliette Lewis on Facebook (thanks everyone!) that I thought I would post more photographs of the shoot.It was for the Daily Telegraph, and I was sent down to a hotel in West London where she was staying with the band. The pressure was on right from the start as I was instructed by the paper to only get photographs of Juliette, but knew that her press officer would want to concentrate on shots of her with her band, Juliette and the Licks.
So a compromise was struck, I would get 7 mins with the band and get her on her own for the remaining 7 mins. I was also acutely aware that Juliette herself would not really be keen to be photographed on her own, as she was really pushing the band as a self contained unit.
One other thing that I was worried about, the fact that we had to do all this in the foyer of the hotel, which was a basically a public space and usually a nightmare to control.
I got to the hotel and did my recce, then set up my lights and waited for them to make an appearance. Suddenly this blonde girl appeared out of nowhere and I realised that she had bleached her hair ... very rock and roll
I can honestly say that Juliette did not disappoint one bit, she was brilliant to photograph, mad as a box of frogs, and it was all a bit of a blur, but I came away satisfied that I had captured some great shots.
