Is that an Airport?

Our luggage spread is now printed in the Next preview catalogue :-) If you're from Nottingham you might recognise the location we used... it was the Nottingham National ice centre. The large glass windows certainly gave us the airport look we were after, our model Jane was lovely and very professional (even with the occasional shouts from cars stopping at the lights!) The collection of camera equipment, lighting and stylists certainly got a lot of attention from people walking by. We had a very productive morning shooting to produce three different luggage shots for the spread. All the other product photos were taken in our studio, including cases and bags for the internet (some products were internet only and didn't feature in the catalogue). The graphic design was also done in-house, using the luggage stamp symbol as a decorative graphic with light coloured blocks to link the body copy to the images. Some photo-editing was involved to erase advertising posters off the building, to produce these clean, air port like images. Our thanks to the National Ice Centre for allowing us to use their building grounds for our shoot
