Up High
Overlooking the city from one of its highest points, London’s Alexandra Palace, the people’s palace formed the perfect setting for the photo shoots for this project. Fortunately the weather on day two, (the morning shoot) there was no rain or fog but January is known to be unforgiving with its temperature. Winter can be harsh but it doesn’t bother me as long as I’ve got my woolly socks on and there is sunlight at some point during the day… and there it was. I got there early, it was still dark and then I was met with an unexpected glorious sunrise that morning. The atmosphere was welcoming; ideal for the photoshoot, which served to enhance the feeling of the t-shirt designs that I created along with the poetry within the book.
