Hunting The White Whale with an M6 and an M9

[TennesseJones]

Just thought I'd share a photo essay type thing of mine, parts of which have just been published and will be going out inside the Yorkshire Evening Post in this publication:

I was asked to do a backstage story on my new play, The White Whale, a big site specific show we just opened in Leeds, UK.

You can see the full range of images here-

The RFF fun bit is that it was all shot on an M6 and an M9, largely with 28mm and 35mm lenses.

Outstanding! Congratulations Tennesse on being involved (writer? producer?) in what looks like an incredible spectacle there in Leeds. The photo essay is wonderful, and I particularly like the portraits where you have gotten close enough with a wide angle lens so that we actually feel we ourselves are close to the people portrayed.

Thank you for posting and best wishes for an immensely successful season.

Thanks for sharing. I like the series. And the show looks like a fun project to do.

Dang. Nailed some of those portraits. Great work. Glad to see you put the M6 to good use. Cheers!

Not sure why but I miss this in at its time, excellent shots in that white whale project.

Many thanks for kind comments!

It was a wonderful show to be part of. Hard work, but very special to us. Hopefully coming to london next year.
