SHOT AND STYLED BY LAWRENCE JAMES THOMAS

‘As I’m older these days, it was important for us to do a project that focussed on character.

Lawrence talked about a story that would be set in the Forties. I love that period. So we started talking about cops and mystery and the American South.’ Paul Sculfor, model, actor and presenter

‘The idea was to shoot in Majorca, but make it double for Louisiana. I spent months trawling around

second-hand clothes shops, picking out Forties and Fifties garments.

I wanted that big-collared white shirt look. The clothes we used were vintage - even the shoes. I styled it myself - it wasn’t styling really, more wardrobe. I do like using old clothes in shoots and films. You can be more creative as it doesn’t matter if you wreck them!’

Lawrence James Thomas photographer and director

We shot the story in Calla San Vincens in Majorca, over a week - stills and video at the same time. The story featured three men and a girl. Paul and I have had experience of acting, but Matt hadn’t done any before. But he came into it and did really well.’ James Farrar, model and actor

Tve only done little bits of what you might call acting - nothing serious - for video being shot while we do campaigns. More and more people want video, and want to see you moving, making it look real. I love that approach - I prefer working with movement and where you can show your character a little bit. It’s more natural.’ Matt Trethe, model
