Earlier this week we suffered through absolute hell for the sake of "art", or at least I hope that's what it was for otherwise we've got a lot to worry about...
We did a photoshoot with Danny North, something as a band that's definitely worth shouting (or blogging) about! One of the most respected and prolific music photographers in the North of the UK. Here's his website to check out his stuff : http://www.dannynorth.co.uk/
Thing is, he's got a reputation for being a bit out there but we weren’t really expecting what we actually ended up doing. He took us to an abandoned insane asylum in Lincoln, made us get naked and squirted us with paint! The place was derelict and it is January so we were fucking freezing! The shoot took an hour and a half but the worst was, once our fingers and toes (and other more important bits) were well and truly on their way to becoming blocks of ice he pulled out his trump card and got his assistants to throw loads of buckets of cold water over us.
Look at the photo, you can see we’re in pain…
After we’d used the rest of the cold water to try and scrub the rest of the paint off we put on painters overalls and Danny took us to a bamboo field just outside of Lincoln to do another quick shoot. These ended up looking stunning for something done so quickly.
