Brief Encounter

Two lovers outside a café on a cold winter’s night seen through the café window. Shot in monochrome on medium format (Yashicamat 124G) to create the mood of the Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson film of the same name. Taken in 1999 but the date doesn’t matter – this image has a timeless feel. I knew what I wanted before I took it and sketched it out before enrolling two friends to be my models. It could have been taken in Paris but it was actually taken in Cambridge.
