Very nice series, thank you! Really liked this interview – and though I hadn’t thought of it until I read the reply above – his actual exhaustion towards the end might have really made a difference in those last shots so it definitely worked out. Thanks for sharing.

This is one of the best series of photos I’ve seen in a while. Excellent job with everything. Also, good article to go along with the pictures, explaining the concepts and all.

regarding the first photo (of Phrase in his tie) – this was clipped out and cropped at the waist before use, so seeing the “edge of the seamless” wasn’t a concern. Funny you mention it though, it’s not the edge either, over the heat wave during January the foundations of the building my studio is in moved, and it’s the floor of my cyc being pulled apart! Not so seamless at the moment…

In the first pic the edge of the seamless is visible by his foot.

Thanks for getting the photographer to agree to let you show the images. The shoot was pretty darned creative. Since I’ve wanted to do a story-based shoot for a while now, this has helped give me some ideas.

I would argue that the fact that everyone was tired at the end of the day worked for the shot. You can see that Phrase looks physically exhausted. I think it lends to the idea of fighting through every day life. And you can’t fake fatigue the way it’s displayed in that picture. He looks weary to the bone and it works fantastically.

I like the idea of the bloodied bandages on the hands. Tells a story. Great photos!
