A good face for....radio!

I was involved in a small photo shoot for the Daily Telegraph today in relation to a small article that I am doing for them in September.

Whilst the article won't appear until mid September, they required a photograph of 'yours truly', and sent round a young photographer - Sarah -who has recently arrived in the UK from New Zealand.

I advised Sarah that I could not be held responsible for any damage to her lens etc (I bet she hadn't heard that comment before!), but she assured me that it would be OK and that she would soon be finished - after all she only needed one decent shot/photo!

Well, it seemed that photos were taken from every conceivable angle, and she must have taken at least 30. Each one was accompanied by comments such as : -“Look into the lens”, “no better look to your left”, “Smile”, “No.... I said smile”,“Don't worry about me getting so close, the lens is really wide angle, so I won't get that much of you in”, “isn't this a great background!”, “I'll try one with flash” etc etc.

It will amazing to see what the eventual picture looks like, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if I am merely shown in silhouette, with my features totally “blacked” out.

Whilst Sarah was too polite to say it, I do believe that she was thinking that I have “...a great face for radio”.
