It was important for us that our photo had atmosphere; we had to find a venue that could look like a live music event was happening and also include people and movement as if a gig were taking place.
We got tipped off about this bar in old street called Road Trip which held live music events and also had a really interesting looking bar and many pieces of music memorabilia throughout.
So we set up our stand at the bar and because we had to work with the space it was quite difficult; especially hanging posters from light rails getting them to the right height.
In order to create movent, we took slow shutter speed shots of Sophia walking past which also created a dark sillhouettte which we liked. However, we found it difficult to create the idea of a crowded environment without blocking the shrine and so to draw extra attention to it darkened the corners of the image.
In retrospect it would have been nice to try another version of the image landscape, if there had been no dimension restrictions, to include far more people milling about near the shrine.
