Sinad O'Connor 48

"I hadn't met Sinéad before. Her face was lively and expressive, captivating, with an indefinable air that encompassed fragility, strength, experience, intensity and something feral. We drank tea and talked. Eventually we moved to another room with a huge bay window and perfect daylight. I had set up a backdrop and we sat either side of a table. I gradually shot four rolls of 120 film - 48 frames - with my Rolleiflex while we continued our conversation. It's a gentle camera, with a leaf shutter that is almost silent. It has an easy presence and doesn't intrude in the way many cameras do."
The book reproduces the full sequence of photographs from the shoot including all the outtakes. It gives a fascinating insight into both the subject and the photographic process as the frame is rearranged and develops over time.
