Behind The Scenes on my shoot with Lotan The Stripper

And here are some of the behind the scenes from my shoot with Lotan.
Lots of Police milling about in the background and a very interested passer by stopping to watch.

Luckily the Police didn't catch us out. I have a feeling, since the Queen was in residence and we shot during the changing of the guard, they might not have been too impressed. I asked a Policeman before we started shooting if they would object to a bit of nakedness but he said it could be seen as disrespectful to the Queen.
Personally, I would like to think that perhaps the Queen might have liked it, I mean something has to float her boat and it makes a change from boring tourists with cameras.

Oh and we had some interest in the park as well!

Lotan The Stripper

Earlier this month I photographed Lotan Carter, a male stripper with the Dreamboys, for Attitude Magazine. 

This shoot was SO MUCH FUN! 

The idea was to shoot in St James' Park  against a flower bed but I was inspired by Buckingham Palace and we shot this during the changing of the guard.  It was definitely gorilla style shooting (as in we weren't supposed to be there).  We were surrounded by police who were luckily looking the other way and Lotan wasn't perturbed about dropping his pants at all.  In fact I would say he quite enjoyed it!
