It included a photo-shoot of a young lady on and around the beach on Burgh Island in South Devon. A shoot which we noticed, in part because we have visited this island (and its sea tractor) in the past, in part because it features in several episodes of Poirot, this last mainly because the island includes a large art deco hotel.
With this snap probably having been taken on the beach on Burgh Island, with South Devon in the background. With our once having very nearly lost our car keys on that very beach, just across the water. Which would, in those far off days before the invention of mobile phones, have been something of a disaster, not least because children were involved.
A snap noticed here because we wondered how many times the young lady had to do her hand stand before the photographer, one Josh Shinner, was satisfied with it. Perhaps this is something a reader can help with?
And just in case you are thinking of trying it, the clothes she is wearing, at least those you can see, come in at about £7,000. Did she get through more than one lot of them in the course of the shoot?
PS 1: the young lady looks normal enough in this shot. But she looked terribly thin in some of the others.
PS 2: I assume that the snap is just that. That it is not some composite, assembled in Photoshop from a whole lot of other snaps and other materials.
