David Emery OnlinePeaches Geldof and me
13 May 2008
One of the more interesting opportunities that cropped up recently – and contributed to the distinctly lax attitude I’ve seemingly been taking recently with decent length blog posts – was to photograph behind the scenes at the shoot for the new Nick Caves and the Bad Seeds video. It was unsurprisingly immense fun, even more so because not only did it have the aforementioned Nick C. and co in it, but a host of other famous names including Beth Orton, Will Self, that guy from Green Wing, Andy from EastEnders and Peaches Geldof:
That is by far and away my favourite photo I’ve taken, and I’m still trying to get over the oddness of being in the ladies loos at a seedy club in Soho on a Sunday afternoon taking photos of Peaches Geldof…
I’ve taken this opportunity to add a Photography section to this site as it seemed like I needed somewhere to highlight all this stuff going on – this taking photos lark seems to be getting serious now, which is nice. If you need a photographer (music related really – I’m not doing weddings…) let me know.
I would love to embed the final video as a nice way to end this little self-congratualtory ramble, but it doesn’t seem to have found itself online in an embedable form yet so you’ll have to make do viewing it on The Sun’s website (yes, that ‘The Sun’) which is also using a rather large version of that photo above.
It’s all a bit strange really…
