Sunday Shoots at Columbia Flower Market, London E2

While rambling through the Columbia Flower Market, in Londons East End yesterday (10 Feb 2008) came across this interesting studio run by a photographer called Seamus Ryan. He has this project called Sunday Shoots where, every Sunday he photographs for free, the Joe Public who walk in. And each week the shoot follows a different theme.

Yesterday, the theme was VERTIGO and a poster outside the studio described Vertigo thus "When we fall we lose control. In this project the public were invited to really let go and plunge into a metaphorical abyss, revealing a more vulnerable side of their character. The resulting images are an alternative to the heroic conventions of modern portraiture, not to mention being a bit of a laugh."

I was quite amused by the whole thing and went in... But I must admit that when i walked in I was quite apprehensive, since im not much of a "faller"... (when I tried Bunee Jumping, I literally had to be pushed off the platform)

Saw the people before me and had a few laughs :-) So I volunteered to fall and this is what happened...
