Taming of the Shrew poster

This evening I met up with Kennedy Bloomer, Aoife Kennan and Toby Marlow to shoot photos for the poster of Taming of the Shrew. Kennedy had a vision of some arm wrestling photos. There was a beautiful black grand piano with a polished black surface that we recruited. This got us started on the reflection path.

The poster designed by the talented Hannah Grace Taylor (check out her webpage):

There you have it, a bit of fun in ADC’s Larkum studio. I am curious to see what Hannah Grace Taylor does with the images for the final poster (Update: See above!). For more photos from the Taming of the Shrew, have a look at my previous blog post.
