With the release of David Gilmour's
new album, On An Island, just three weeks away now, preparations for
the launch and publicity activities are gathering pace. As part of
this, David recently spent some time with respected rock photographer
Ross Halfin for a photo shoot, which you can see the results of...and
also buy prints of!

At Ross's website, he runs a diary of his activities. Here's an extract, showing what he was up to on February 2nd:
"Today
I am shooting outdoors. It is of course FREEZING... My subject is David
Gilmour of Pink Floyd, or Diamond Dave to his friends. I'm not
expecting this to go well. His PR had expressed (in a Felicity Kendall
voice) no interest whatsoever in what I was trying to do. When I voiced
concern about the time limit set by them, all I got was 'HAVEN'T YOU
HEARD OF RE-TOUCHING?' So I was not looking forward to this. Well,
Diamond Dave turned up on time. He was the politest and nicest musician
I've dealt with since Rory Gallagher, I was shocked. I was shooting on
his boathouse which is his studio floating on the Thames. It was a
pleasure to work with him."
Ross took some stunning shots as part of the session, and at www.rosshalfin.co.uk
you can see a selection of 26 great pictures (one of them shown to the
right) - these are mainly black and white, and sepia, although there
are some subtly coloured shots too.
If you want to treat yourself,
Ross is selling prints of all the pictures. Prints are available in 3
sizes: 20" x 16", 16" x 12", and 12" x 10". Black and white and lith
prints are printed on fibre-based paper to archival standards; colour
prints are printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. All prints are
individually hand printed only when you order, and Ross personally
checks and signs all prints prior to despatch. Please note, sizes are
in inches, not in centimetres.
Our thanks to Ross for his help.
