Information about the artwork: The show conceptually was really interesting, a central space opened up to reveal the creative team (hair, make up) who helped make it all happen. But for me there was no defining image I could use. This was the first time I decided to rebuild the show almost completely from scratch. Using one single view point I shot the models as they passed. It then took several weeks to position and correct, to give at least some illusion that they were all part of the same image.
