I had the idea of trying a shoot which had a more 'exotic' feel, maybe suggesting a location in a warmer climate. My friend who agreed to model for me is Brazilian and I discussed ways of hinting at his hometown in the picture. I wanted to see if I could spread the theme of my project globally, to pose a question which affects people all over the world, not just cities such as London.
In hindsight I don't find this shoot that successful, and maybe this is because the idea was becoming diluted. I am again slipping into a general view of people living around the world. I will stick to more focused narrative and one location.
