So........ Im a carpenter by trade but for the last 6 or so years have been helping my brother in law out with a blind and curtain track supply and fit business that he owns and runs out of London, these are very high end products which normally sees us in very swanky places. So anyway today was one off those 'fitting by my self' days at a property near Finchley Road which I have visited once before but had only met the lady owner who was very pleasant.
Any way on today's visit the husband was home, and as I was trying to fit a curtain pole in the master bedroom and noticed a camera bag with a canon 5d3 hanging out and a few lens's, so as any canon tog would probably do I gave a nod to myself and carried on!
Next thing I know a van pulled up outside the house and this guy jumped out and started to unload camera equipment including lighting, umbrellas ect. Then another vehicle arrived with a few models which in turn entered the house and set up camp in the front room. People was coming and going for the next 30 mins as I slowly realised that the owner must have been a pro tog and there was going to be a shoot at the house.
So after about an hour these dolly birds started to appear out in the back garden all dollied up where this guy then starts the shoot. Obviously being a keen tog myself I was in ore off the situation and found myself getting lost in monitoring the situation.
Next thing I knew Denise van Outen appears in the garden and the guy starts to shoot.
So that was it, off downstairs I went and ended up having a massive chat with the equipment supplier guy who informs me that it was a shoot for Hello magazine and it was to promote a charity event which will see van outen and a few others cycling across Ethiopia to raise money. He then took me to meet the girls and Denise and we had a lovely chat about photography and that the tog in question was a guy called Allen Strut.
Turned Out to be a fairly interesting day and better still the equipment guy asked for a business card off me.
So if you see Hello magazine and see some pics of van outen and the girls, think off me peeping out of the window wishing I had my camera!!
