It's a Millwall Movember

Movember
So a few of the boys were taking part in Movember which is about raising money and awareness for charity -  prostate cancer.  This is all about ‘bringing the moustache back and having some fun for a serious cause’.
Cue Lily with the camera….

Got a few of the boys together for a photo-shoot, but unfortunately due to transport problems not everyone could make it or reschedule. So we were not able to do group shots and execute some of the original ideas I had. I was hoping the boys would dress up in their old ‘tour’ gear (i.e. can-can girl, monk, pirate, knight, cowboy etc) I was then going create a surreal HDR type group shot where they are getting ready in the changing rooms …but nah, I did individual shots instead as we didn’t have enough time for ‘dressing up’. All good though as a few people bought their aviators and cowboy hats along!

I took some shots at the clubhouse of Larry and Andrew and then I went back to the paddock just after rugby training to capture whoever was still left.  I was pleasantly surprised with the results of the shots in the club house.  There are halogen spot lights in the clubhouse ceiling and by experimenting with the ISO, aperture and positioning people directly under the light we managed to get a ‘Bohemian Rhapsody‘ look!!  For the guys at the paddock - this was more tricky to do and we had to make the most of the floodlights.  So I had taken the shot so that the floodlight was coming in from the left.

Here are the ‘better’ shots (different montages were created and I can’t remember why!)








All good fun and look forward to a Millwall Movember again this year!!

Big thanks to Andrew, Larry, Olly, Luke, John and Shaf for taking part and being such fantastic models!! Thanks to Olly for arranging it all!
