She couples versatility with a razor-sharp mind, and I \u003cbr\u003enever have to worry about her performing – she was born a \u003cbr\u003eperformer. She was an easy choice to play Oliver, whereas it \u003cbr\u003ewould have been a bridge too far for many in her profession. \u003cbr\u003eThe kids in my orphanage in the old Chatham dockyards in Kent, \u003cbr\u003ehowever, were less seasoned with the camera and they all \u003cbr\u003eneeded some tutoring. There were many distractions on set, and I \u003cbr\u003eneeded their focus and attention. They all did a grand job in the end.\u003cbr\u003ePhotography is about light as much as it is about any other variable. \u003cbr\u003eSome have described it as the language of light and I understand \u003cbr\u003ethat description. There are settings such as this where the ambient \u003cbr\u003elight allows the photograph to be elevated to a higher level than \u003cbr\u003ewould normally be achieved by the content on stage. It adds a layer \u003cbr\u003eto the story, and the search for additional layers in a still image is \u003cbr\u003ecore to our purpose.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMy goal was to take a picture in London with an intense sense \u003cbr\u003eof place, and I knew that to do this and remain original was a \u003cbr\u003eformidable challenge. There are few cities in the world more \u003cbr\u003ephotographed than London, and to tell a story that would \u003cbr\u003eresonate with a content-spoilt audience, we had to be at our \u003cbr\u003every best. There is nothing more disappointing than to creatively \u003cbr\u003eunderwhelm, particularly in my home city. My instinct was to go \u003cbr\u003eback in time and play to the lore of the gritty post-war London of \u003cbr\u003ethe 1920s. The historic dockyards of Chatham offer a strong visual \u003cbr\u003ecanvas on which to tell stories, and I sensed that if we played with the \u003cbr\u003eambient light of the early evening and married that with old London \u003cbr\u003estreetlights, we had a platform to build on. The Roaring Twenties in \u003cbr\u003ethe UK are remembered as a decade when women found equality \u003cbr\u003eand their sexuality was celebrated. It was an era where grit and \u003cbr\u003eglamour forged an unlikely alchemy. Choosing British supermodel \u003cbr\u003eand actress Cara Delevingne, a quintessential London girl, as my \u003cbr\u003elead was one of the easier decisions of my career. Meanwhile, David \u003cbr\u003eGandy is my favourite male lead to work with – he always nails it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"180cm x 257cm \/ Photography","offer_id":51101554868481,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"132cm x 183cm \/ Photography","offer_id":51101554901249,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/1676\/5953\/files\/d6137959c57a8c30abecc84d4101416e.webp?v=1794182247","url":"https:\/\/shopmavero.shop\/products\/oliver-1","provider":"Fairmont Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
