FAIRYTALES & FANTASY

ON ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THIS SUMMER ELENA HAD TRAVELLED HER WAY FROM LONDON THROUGH TO MY AREA OF AYLESBURY TO ATTEND A SHOOT AT A VERY ORNATE CEMETERY LOCATION IN THE HEART OF THE TOWN. SHE HAD MANY TRANSPORT ISSUES ON THIS DAY, CANCELLATIONS, STRIKES AND BROKEN DOWN BUSES. HOWEVER, EVENTUALLY AFTER WALKING FORTY MINUTES AFTER A LONG JOURNEY SHE FOUND ME JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE CEMETERY TO GO AND LOOK FOR HER NEAR THE BUS STOP. OUR FIRST POINT OF CALL WAS TO RECREATE THE VISION OF A BURNING WITCH FROM A TRADITIONAL AMERICAN PAINTING BACK FROM THE DAYS OF THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS. WE HAD SET UP IN FRONT OF A MODERN CHURCH LIKE STRUCTURE WHICH WAS INFACT A TOMB WHICH RESEMBLED THE SIMILAR AESTHETIC OF THE OLD CHURCHES FOUND IN AMERICA IN THAT DAY AND AGE. WALKING AROUND THIS GRAVEYARD THERE WERE MANY STRUCTURES TO MAKE USE OF SUCH AS THE "DEAD HOUSE." DEAD HOUSES ALTHOUGH MORBID WERE ACTUALLY A PRACTICAL WAY TO STORE BODIES BACK IN THE VICTORIAN ERA. BACK THEN THEY USED TO KEEP BODIES IN THEIR HOMES WHICH OF COURSE CAUSED A PLETHORA OF HEALTH CONCERNS RESULTING IN THE DEAD HOUSES BEING ERECTED IN ALL CHURCHYARDS. ORIGINAL STONE WORK AND WITH IT'S DARK OAK VARNISHED DOOR IT WAS A PERFECT WAY TO FRAME ELENA. OUR LAST SHOTS OF THE DAY WERE AT THE PRESTIGIOUS STRUCTURES OF TWO ORNATE TOMBS CREATED FOR TWO EXTREMELY WEALTHY FAMILIES. BOTH HAVE THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN FROM THE GOTHIC RENAISSANCE ERAS. IRON GATES CLOSED OFF THE TRADITIONAL CHURCH INSPIRED ARCHWAYS WHICH WE USED TO IT'S FULL POTENTIAL.
