Mezzaluna Bahrain - "Advertising campaign photography"

This was such a great fun Campaign to direct and shoot,
back in the Bahrain days ...

This my absolute favourite image from the Campaign ...
The original Cibachrome print has that most wonderful unique ‘old-school’
3D quality to it!

Had to wait and time this to-exact moment ...
Over a couple of fined-tuned minutes over a three day-period for the ambient late afternoon-sunlight cutting through a silther of a sky light-window to yield the exact
right-ambience for this shot …

Filled-in with flash

Great creative fun back in day ...
and an amazingly fun client ,,,,
that gave total creative freedom
