In September, Black Cherry Photography got to work again with ‘This Morning Call’ for a bit of an experimental photo shoot in preparation for the forthcoming album due out early next year.
From the MySpace page:
‘This Morning Call – aka Ben Heyworth – is a singer, songwriter and producer from Manchester, who writes downtempo but beautiful, life affirming tunes that engage the brain, please the ears and move the feet’.
Prior to the shoot, we listened to the new album at Bens house whilst enjoying cups of tea. We started to get a good feel for what kind of album this was and what type of imagery would work to promote it. A number of songs on the album
are connected to nature, emptiness, the sea and so on... With this in mind we thought we needed to steer clear of typical clear studio shots and go for something that better reflected the album.
One idea we all were particularly interested in was the idea of using projections. We gathered together a number of our own images of landscapes, lights and textures that we could use for the shoot. We hired a projector and set it up in a rehearsal studio in Ancoats. Some of the images we brought along worked brilliantly projected onto the blue brick walls and straight onto Ben. The images really gave us motivation to get creative. Lisa got busy doing close up shots whilst
I experimented with the idea of layering multiple images together in the camera (something we hadn’t tried before!).
Again, as with the previous This Morning Call photo shoot, the night was a good mix of music, a little bit of silliness, a small amount of dancing and much needed monster munch for snacks. Oh and not to mention, some really good pictures. We were really happy with the results and you can see some of the images and behind the scenes footage here..
