He also decided to be in Chloe's picture! |
It was a lovely sunny, dare I say even warm, day to go on this very picturesque river walk. With the combination of water and long grass chocolate monster was having a whale of a time. I took some lovely pictures of the docked sailing boats with the gorgeous landscape in the background - it was all very new age Jane Austen. When we got to the most open part of our walk, where the river meets the estuary, there was a group of young 20 somethings taking it in turns to take a picture of the group, whilst happily chatting, enjoying the scenery and gorgeous weather. Well, anyone that knows me, will know that I can't just stand there knowing that they were getting lots of pictures with one person missing each time rather than one great picture of them all. So, true to form, I offered to take a shot (or two) of them altogether with their 'point and click' compact camera.

After persuading them that I wasn't going to charge them for modelling for me, they agreed that it would be a bit of fun and why not?!
So, what did I want them to do? Jump off the step so I could get a fun shot of them all in mid-air, of course!
After the first time, they really got into it and decided themselves to do a running jump, which was great as it gave them much more airtime. After the running jump, it was time to hand over some business cards and leave them buzzing from the experience - so much fun for all of us! Even chocolate monster was running around like he'd just eaten a tonne of skittles, buzzing off seeing them all running around. My only regret was not getting them to do it one more time so I could change position to get a better result. So, if you're reading this guys and girls from Oldbury-on-Severn - do over next time you're out for a sunny walk??
Here is the colour version..... |
To conclude, my new FUN approach to marketing.....get the general public to model for me doing something fun and just a little bit random!
I prefer the black and white version though! |
