The King of Cocktails, Merlin has been a bartender and mixologist for more than 25 years and has worked all over the world.
I worked with Merlin and The Whiskey Exchange to launch his new range of branded bar sets. It’s great fun working with someone who is used to the camera and wants to collaborate and produce a great end result.
Funnily enough we only live 10 minutes away from each other but had to travel to London for the shoot!
A lovely commission for Premier Inn to shoot their Junior Hotel Inspectors. A group of children were let loose on the hotel for the day to test the food, beds and staff.
A very busy, hectic day with filming and stills going on at the same time, multiple room and area shooting meant lifting and shifting lights and equipment all over the hotel. this is where having a good strong assistant comes in handy!
