A few images from a recent promo shoot with 'The Lampshades' aka Lulu and the Lampshades.
The idea for the shoot originated from a photograph the band found entitled 'Psycho magnetic curves' , The image came from Colonel Dinshah P Ghadiali who in 1920 invented the Spectro-Chrome. The Spectro-Chrome was a simple aluminium colour projector, its creator claimed it had a miraculous power. It was believed that by focusing a specific colour on a particular part of the body at an exact time of day – which he catalogued in a series of regional astrological timetables - you could cure almost any malady...
The band liked the image and asked if we could do something based on it for the shoot... After a chat over a roast dinner it was decided we'd try and replicate the image through projection to create individual portraits and version of themselves. It was a fun and relaxed day shooting in the studio, experimenting with different ideas and lighting, this the result.
The Lampshades are currently recording some new material, looking forward to hearing the new sounds in the new year...
