Photograph of Edwin Booth at Booths Head Office in Preston Lancashire
A couple of years ago I was asked by Lancashire Business View Magazine to get a corporate photograph of Edwin Booth for their Magazine. Edwin Booth is the chairman of the independent Lancashire retailer Booths.
I went along with the then editor Andrew Calvert who was to interview Edwin. We arrived at Booths head office which is based just outside Preston, Lancashire off the M6 motorway. As Andrew was interviewing Edwin I scouted the building for an interesting location,there where quite a few.
The offices are a superb example of energy and resource efficient architecture. It employed rainwater harvesting, intelligent lighting based on the exterior light levels and most impressive of all intelligent heating that calculated how many people where in the building and adjusted the heating accordingly.
Back to the photography, Edwin did not have a huge amount of time, so I quickly set up this shot, looking down the spiral staircase. I liked the simple graphic nature of the view and placed Edwin at the point where the two supporting posts would have met.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I really wanted to use this for the front cover, but was unfortunately outvoted.
