Release Note

The band in question were releasing an EP called "Terrorise", and wished to look suitably menacing on the photo. Margaret came up with the idea of making them look like "wanted" posters.

The original portraits were done with a Nikon with the lens taken off and hand-held to a 5 x 4" camera with the back taken off. That way, I could shift the focus so that just the eyes were sharp, making them look extra shifty. The B+W prints were then photocopied to A2 and roughly stuck to corrugated card, which was then tied up in strategic locations around Glasgow, Scotland, and re-photographed on medium-format transparency. As a final touch, the four final transparencies were then re-photographed onto 5 x 4" transparency to deliberately show the edges of the film.
