The Dog in the Boot and Other Adventures by Photographs by Conor Masterson

I shot these polaroids in a hotel in LA in 2003. I was channel surfing and in a very short time managed to capture a variety of interesting and famous faces.

This is a spread from a book I produced in 2008.

As I mentioned in the introduction to this post a short while ago, “What do you do?” my commission to shoot Royal Navy recruitment advertisements for Y&R Rainey Kelly in 2003 was far and away the most complicated shoot I have ever done. There were 6 print ads that we shot all over the UK starting on the Isle of Skye in Scotland and including the beaches of Cornwall, the bridge of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal in Portsmouth and finishing on the canals of Camden in London. In this post I am going to show how we took the ‘Navy Sub’ from a line drawing to a finished ad.
