Photographing during preparation is excellent advice -- even moreso for an inexperienced or rusty photographer. The companion advice may be to keep shooting after "the shot" has been captured; at which point the subject may release tensions or pretences.

Great advice! During the filming of this vid Harry actually mentioned something similiar but warned after the shoot sometimes subjects may have mentally checked out. But that can also make some good images!

Loved the idea of "frame within a frame", very creative look! Thank you so much Harry for sharing!

Again, really interesting to get the insight on how you create but also a little view of the person you are photographing. Thank you

I love Zadie Smith!

Corrugated iron's reflective gradient and formal rhythm potentially provides an uplifting ballast to an image.

How do you not get thrown out of a laundrette for trying that? Any time someone sees a camera on me I get treated like I’m a) terrible and b) someone must be paying me loads and therefore they want some

[@fredandharryborden]

haha - often soon as you whip out the camera your time limit starts!
