Wanderlust does Mirrorshades

Self-portrait.

Originally it was just a 'behind the scenes' photo - I was meeting people for a photoshoot at St Paul's cathedral in London. When I arrived I was asked by Police if I was going to the protest. I genuinely had no idea what they meant, and I don't think they believed me- fair enough, I do look pretty anarchic - but I was given directions (very politely) to what turned out to be the London version of Occupy Wall Street!

Ever professional ( ) we carried on and did our shoot anyway. I'd borrowed some classic mirrorshades from my friend Graham, and just wanted a shot with the protest in the background.

My friend Pedro Brasilero de Jager suggested I make it B/W, 'like a picture from the old Shadowrun books', and hey presto! I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I guess the atmosphere just rubbed off on me.

I like to think it looks a bit Tim Bradstreet.
