A few months ago I shot Dawn Airey and her family on a dairy farm in Oxfordshire. Dawn is Head of Channel 5 and her partner Jacqui is also a film-maker. They also have a beautiful daughter who was very excited about getting to dress up for the morning!
My original idea was to shoot it like an old Victorian portrait using a make-shift studio set up, so like a modern day Victorian family portrait.
However Dawn and Jacqui live opposite a dairy farm in the countryside so we decided to use that as a backdrop but still trying to date it so it looked like a portrait from the 'olden days'.
Of course it rained the whole way through the shoot but I'm quite pleased with the results, i think the dreariness of the day made the shots seem more authentic.
Below are some out-takes. The chosen shot is up on my website: www.alexgracephoto.com
