Bill Mitchell, ex-professional golfer, with new Kia
On Tuesday I did some photos for a nice quirky story in the Motors North supplement that goes out with a lot of the Scottish Provincial papers.
Bill Mitchell from Grantown-on-Spey was a professional golfer and appeared in the advertising campaign for VW Golf cars. Bill is retired now, and he has just got a brand new Kia Cee'd based on advice from Motors North editor David Morgan.
We did the photos at Grantown-on-Spey golf course. I did try to get permission to put the car on the first green, but the ground was so wet that they weren't even allowing golfers on the course that day!

The weather was perfect for this. After heavy rain all morning, literally 5 minutes before the shoot the rain stopped and the sun came out. This allowed me to use the sun for side/back-lighting and a wireless-triggered flash on a light stand for main lighting. As soon as we'd finished, the rain came back.
