...last summer i assisted andy hillman studio on a shoot for henry cotton's spring summer campaign...the shoot took place in the grounds of a beautiful house in northamptonshire and the enchanting shots were taken by tim walker...
...behind the scenes video...
...phil, martin and steve from andy knight's starting off by constructing a floating caravan in the man made lake...
...andy testing a magenta smoke bomb inside an umbrella and then magically disappearing...
...ta daa...
...i love how the lily pads and other plants have take over...
...a group of pink and white umbrellas which have been sprayed to soften the colours...
...a collection of old wooden ladders that we dry brushed...
...some columns in the garden...not relevant to the shoot but i liked them...
...martin working on the caravan...
...and testing the water bike...
...paper lanterns that we painted pink, orange and yellow...
...the lanterns drying in the sunshine...
...the stained paintbrushes...
...the finished lanterns after having a layer of white dry-brushed over the bright colours...
...the caravan with its final touches...
...blue velvet curtain backdrop...
...a close up of the curtain which i lightly bleached to give it a sense of age...
...the paper lanterns fixed up to festoon lights...
...a boat which has also had a dry-brushing...
...the paper lanterns draped over and around the set...
...and lit up in the evening...
...it had a very magical feeling...
...we thought it would make a good set-up for a party...
...and then back to work in the morning...
...andy in the boat fishing out stray umbrellas...
...the lanterns...finished with a stack up...
...the boys in their wetsuits setting up the ladders...
...andy and andy heading towards the ladders...
...and now helping lisa through the waters...
...and thats it...it was an amazing shoot to work on and the final images look so beautiful...
