Blossoms

Portrait of Blossoms photographed in Stockport, their home town. I was supposed to do all the photos in a cafe but it was a bit of a boring location so I pissed off to do a reccy for locations when we had a break. As I was wandering around I saw what I thought was a scrapyard. I was looking over the fence when some bloke came out and asked me what I was doing, I told him I was shooting a band for Q Magazine and was looking for some locations. He told me it was actually his garden and that I was most welcome to photograph the band there. He was a top bloke and he even let me come in his house and shoot out of the huge window on the second floor, which was his lounge. Also as it was a cash for question feature for the magazine and the guy bizarrely had a wad of photocopied fifty pounds notes, I didn't want to ask why or what he had them for. The band later burnt them as I snapped away…..a good day all round. Photographer: Simon Sarin
