Guildford is the town of my childhood. I had not done a street shoot there for about 15 years. Yoo Yoo and I had not done any location shoot before, so this was an opportunity. If you don't make yourselves stand out in the street people tend to not even notice you. I like to do wander and stop, this takes away the pressure of working to a strict itinerary and often results in very surprising images. We started in the less busy streets so that we got used to how we both work. After a coffee it was off to shoot in Ben's Collectors Records which a real gem of a shop. Ben has been a friend for many years. The aisles are crazy narrow and we had to be aware of customers. Browsing records was far more interesting than watching us. Avoiding flash, the atmosphere was not lost. Yoo Yoo was brilliant and ideal. Lunch was at the amazing "Meat the Greek", a must do when in Guildford. From there we wandered to Angel Gate with it's historical coach house and cobbles. From there it was off to the historical Gun Powder Mills but that is the next story.
