Back to the Traverse

An early morning photocall at the Traverse Theatre for the one-man show Man of Valour. In it Paul Reid plays Farrel Blinks, an office drone with an overactive fantasy gland. His imagined, heroic adventures offer violent release from the pressures and boredom of his ordinary life - until the border between fantasy and reality begins to blur. When his demons come after him, Farrell has to find his voice and face them down. We had a strictly-timed ten minutes to get pictures as Paul performed a number of different scenes from the show. Some very dramatic lighting and facial expressions made for some great images - went for this one in the end. Got chatting afterwards with one of the other two photographers there and he put me in touch with his agency. Maybe will lead to something...
