Fashion shoots: ah the glamour...

I spent last week shooting in Norfolk, on Holkham and Wells-next-the-Sea beaches. There's no vehicular access to either beach, so we drove our rather large location van down a private lane on the Holkham estate to a point half a mile behind the sand dunes. Then my assistant & I set up our outdoor working area. This would have worked brilliantly, except every passer-by thought we were a jumble sale.
