I've driven 300 miles today and I'm writing this from a Travel Lodge in Birmingham.
I started out at a recycling plant in Thetford which specialises in reclaiming all the raw materials from fluorescent lamps. The shoot went very well and I tried to build a story board of pictures of the process from the delivery of the lamps to the separated materials. Then I drove on to Bury St Edmunds where I was supposed to photograph a hair salon but unfortunately that shoot didn't happen due to a mix up with the owners of the salon. I did however find a really old fashioned shoe shop (160 years old according to the owner) and ended up buying a pair of Loake boots that I've been after for ages so it wasn't a wasted trip!.
I'm here in the Travel Lodge in Birmingham now because I've got a 7am start tomorrow at a new school in Birmingham where I'm shooting the classrooms for a lighting manufacturer.
The next few weeks are really busy and in two weeks time I'm off to Switzerland for two days to photograph the interior of a new ultra green building for a top furniture company which I'm really looking forward to. Working abroad is always exciting and adds to the fun of the job.
I'm going to have to work most of the weekend to catch up but I'm not going to complain as I've been looking forward to things getting back to usual again after a slow December.
I've attached a picture from yesterday's shoot at Le Manoir.
