The greatest thing about working with artists is that most of the time you get to include their work in the images. Sometimes, it makes it harder, but most of the time it gives you the chance to create images of someone, using props that are interesting in themselves. This is especially the case when working with artists such at Jason Bruges. Jason does not only create great big installations but works a lot with light and reflective surfaces. Like a playground for me!
Jason, genuinely interested in the photography side of the shoot as well as imagery as a whole, was great to work with. His studio was two warehouse rooms filled with half finished projects. All at my disposal. The shoot was to create images for Jason that he could use for his own PR. We used his up and coming projects including robots and large ‘disco balls looking’ wall installations which are to be installed on an underground station in Norway. A great big water tank in construction, that will eventually be installed so that sound waves break the light and create patterns on the ceiling of the space it is in. A genuinely interesting and fun shoot with a very inspirational and friendly man.
