Andy Butler from Hercules & The Love Affair

A few months back I shot Andy Butler from the band, 'Hercules and Love Affair'.

Being a fan of the band, it was great to meet Andy and the shoot was fun.

It was also good to be back in a studio and have some time to set up my lights etc.

The celebrity shoots I've done recently seem to have been a lot quicker, think on your feet affairs, where I get sent to an unknown location and have to make things work within that environment. There is no time for around in that kind of situation and the last thing I want is people waiting for me to figure out what I'm going to do.
I just need to make quick decisions and do it.

Working in a studio is therefore different because I can get there and set up before the subject arrives and I know exactly how it's all going to work and what it will look like beforehand.

So I was pleased with how this turned out. Andy was sweet, he told me afterwards he had been quite nervous but he was awesome and the shots turned out great.

I'll post some out-takes later.....
