I have come with a few strange concepts for unusual photo-shoots and angles. Undoubtedly the weirdest I came up with was this pretend gangland execution with the look of a girl looking tied up for throwing into the Rochdale canal at Castlefield, Manchester, with her feet in a bucket of concrete.
In fact the model (who remains very much alive) was only standing in loose dry breakfast cereal and her would be killers were careful to help her keep balance. We were watched in some bemusement by security guards from a nearby construction site. I rather like the end results of the shoot, Thanks to my models, Gemma, Craig and Lewis.

A couple of commentators have seen this as comparable to a professional movie still - i'm flattered

Craig and Lewis' makeup reminds me of the vocalist for Turbonegro for some reason. Cool photo!

@arthurchappell - Their old singer was kind of doing the KISS thing, only he didn't seem to be a specific character like the members of KISS.
