This photo shoot took place in Bow Street Studio’s which was underneath the Opera House. These boys were a lot of fun to work with but didn’t have a lot of time. The shoot lasted about 2 hours. No make up or grooming or styling. Just them turning up with what they had on. Bow Street Studio’s was run by a lovely lady called Eve. Such found memories. Not long after this we got our own Studio in Chelsea
