I did a portrait shoot on Sunday 8th June 2008 in Leicester for Scott. We started off with some studio work then moved into Leicester city centre for some urban photographs. Although I had planned to use several different areas in Leicester, we ended up making use of only a couple of sidestreets as there was so much opportunity in a small space. It meant we could use the time taking great photos rather than walking from one location to the next. As we were shooting in sidestreets and it was a Sunday it was not busy, although we managed to create a bit of interest with passers-by.
Leicester is currently undergoing major development work, with the fantastic looking new Highcross extension to the Shires shopping centre almost complete. The Highcross has an ultra modern glass frontage which towers above everything and will make a great backdrop to any urban portrait shoot.
