.Jerry has worked for British Airways all his life and when we got permission to shoot in the new BA Headquarters I was beside myself with excitement! The building is an architectural masterpiece based around the idea of a street with six buildings laid out on either side of a 'street' that is enclosed in a vast atrium. There are shops, banks, all you would ever need during a working day; no need to leave the office!
The shot above is Jerry in front of a model of the famous Concorde; a classic plane beside a gentleman. Thanks Jerry for setting up a great shot and to Katy for being my invaluable assistant yet again! I must also say thanks to British Airways for allowing us access to their wonderful building.
Here is another of the shots we took.

And here is the set up shot. This is how I start up my portrait shoots; the SB800 into the umbrella and the Vivitar, usually gridded to give an accent or rim light. Both the flash guns were on manual and triggered by the now famous Ebay CTR 301P remotes, that have been brilliant. I then tweak the light position and output or the f-stop to get the desired effect.
Thanks again, Jerry, by the way, those wheels to the left are the wheels from a 747 Jumbo Jet, full size. there is a corresponding set on the other side of the 'street' at the correct positionwhere they are on the actual plane!
