Diet Irn-Bru Photo Session

Last week I went with Paul Yates to visit his friend Lewis Rankin and we took some neat photos. Lewis needed a priest model for a project based on imitating the latest advertisements of Irn Bru drink like the one below.

So I came along and we shot some footage of me being dressed as a priest, drank some coffee. Selection of photos came out pretty decent so there was a lot of discussion about which one he should choose. We finally settled for the most pronounced one.

Photo from the priest session. Shot by Lewis Rankin, cropped and edited by myself. Version used in the project is black and white.

The original photo is placed next to a quote on orange background: "We all love to pour it down the throat at he the convents". Imitation is well made as it contains some controversial spice in the context of the photograph. Lewis also took care of the proper layout similar to the one that appears on the real Diet Irn Bru ads.

Real Diet Irn Bru ad photo was taken by Tomasz Augustyn.

For the record, I'd just like to say that the Irn Bru ad pictured is one of the better ads I've seen lately.

Also, the priest pic is rather cool. Creepy but cool.

Indeed, I agree 100% Thomas. And thanks for opinion on the photo. It was supposed to be a bit creepy.
