This photographic job was commissioned a few years ago by City Press in Manchester for LDC. The brief was to get photographs of Paul Johnson who was the Investment Director of LDC at the time, together with Jim Martin the then Chairman of Ethel Austin.
We tried several different locations in Manchester city centre. I suggested we try to get some photographs on these escalators. We needed to move fast so as not to obstruct anyone. They were up for it, which always helps!
I wanted to get a bit of movement in the photograph, so a slow shutter speed,a bit of flash and a very steady hand was needed. There was a little photoshop work, only the blocking out of other shop names as we did not want them associated with this photograph and the adding of the tint. The photographs where very well received, so much so Paul even has a copy of it on his wall.
Nice people, plenty of time, interesting locations all make for a happy photographer and a job well done.
