About the image:

The Canadian singer-songwriter Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, had just stepped off a plane and was jet-lagged. She was to perform in Manchester that evening in August.

I’d been commissioned by the Independent, after they’d interviewed her for the arts section. I had about ten minutes before she had to go to rehearsals and carry out sound checks. I had arrived early and scouted an alleyway near the venue. Thankfully, although she has a reputation for shyness and for disliking publicity, we got on well. She was wearing a cloak and put her hood up. Perfect. It conveyed her personality.

I shot some frames with available light and some with a small flash through a softbox held by her assistant. Three quick set-ups and we were done. The Independent used a vertical portrait of her sitting on some steps with more straightforward lighting. This is my own favourite in black and white, printed with fairly heavy contrast. It hasn’t been published anywhere.

The printing:

C-type prints are notable for their continuous tone and vibrant colours. The first widely used colour print process, modern c-type prints are printed from high resolution digital files produced from drum-scanned negatives or transparencies.

C-type prints use dye-based photographic papers and should not be confused with inkjet, or giclée prints. Read more about C-type printing HERE.
