Eddie Hall - BooHooMAN
I recently had the opportunity to shoot with Eddie Hall at Destination Gym in Trent Vale for the launch of a new boohooMAN drop. The energy was exactly what you'd expect with Eddie, relaxed but focused and unapologetically bold. He knew exactly what he wanted from me being very well prepared for the shoot, making it fast and efficient.
The gym setting gave the shoot a raw, powerful atmosphere, allowing me to capture the strength and presence of both the athlete and the brand.
This one for me is one that will stick with me in my photography career, being spotted on my social media and requested to do a shoot was not only a first for me but a great feeling.
Proud to have been noticed on social media and to have gained work from this I was already over the moon. Then to arrive at the gym and have Eddie sit down with me and discuss what he wants from the shoot just left me in shock.
He knew more than I thought he would about cameras and my chosen setup for the day after he asked to take a look. This for me was quite refreshing and gave me more confidence going into the job.
Not only was he well prepared for the shoot, backing it up with his technological knowledge but he was also showed a genuine interest in my career and how things were going for me. Not only was this again not something that I usually have from clients but this made the shoot feel more casual and low pressure which helped settle my nerves from the surprise of my client being Eddie Hall.
He really did make this a job for me to remember not only because he is a local celebrity to my area but just like everything else he does he has set the bar for client experience.
