Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand photographed in Somerset House in London. The band were playing live later that evening and wanted some portrait shots before they played. When I arrived they were having an afternoon kip, so I went and had a coffee and some food backstage. When they woke up and were ready, Alex the lead singer wanted to give me a tour of the house with all its secret rooms underneath. He had been shown earlier by the guys who worked there. After the tour of the house we got to work and went from room to room taking photos. After we finished we ate and I then photographed them playing live to sold out crowd on a beautiful summers night.
