I have had the pleasure of working with the brilliant Romesh Ranganathan a few times now. Each time is better than the last. However, getting a chance to collaborate with someone on their book is always a special treat. It means a little more two way collaboration, and in this case a lot of fun props. Romesh’s new book “As Good as It Gets” deals with life as a middle aged man. So we found it fitting to place Romesh as if at the end or middle of a kids party, finding himself torn between having interests that are associated with a younger generation, yet having to balance the responsibilities of a parent and middle aged with middle class expectations.
The shoot involved an unpredictable party popper, party hats (both for Romesh and me,) a very sweet but tasty vegan cake, tricycle, balloons, helium (in balloons and lungs) and a lot of confetti! What more could you ask from a shoot?
