A photoshoot test (2016) By Shaun Mullins

The insider is the photographer that is part or closely associated with the subject matter he or she is photographing. All five photographs represent a fairly privileged, middle-class life. The first two pictures, a bone china, cream tea in a friend’s Surrey garden. Photo No 3, with friends at a dinner and dance. Photo No.4, a business meeting with my Boss. Photo No.5. A test shot during a photoshoot for one of my projects with assistants and a hired model.

I note that from all these pictures that although the subjects are aware of the presence of the camera their attitude is relaxed or indifferent.
