I shot McGill!

Yes i admit it, i shot McGill! Last Sunday 11th August i shot him in a pretty tranquil setting with the kind permission from City Life Now.  The evidence of this event has been captured using my Leica with a Carl Zeiss lens.  Here is a contact sheet of the story...

The story unfolds as McGill attempts to leave his love interest behind.  She isn't happy about his departure so tries to persuade him to stay.  He has so much love for her he doesn't want to hurt her but he knows that he must go as he doesn't want to betray his loyalty to his friend Max Stein who died in his arms.  She knows that this could happen to him, so throughout the photos you will see that she is trying every which way to stop him ending the same way.  If you have seen A Variation on a Million Bucks then you will know how this ends for McGill and what he is put through to keep his promise.

Also, no matter how painful this is for McGill, he lets her go to protect her so others do not give her the same fate as his friend. 
So he is left with his car and his suitcase... the only way that he knows, but knowing that she is safe and he has kept his promise to his friend.

I would like to thank everybody who helped to make this all possible.  It is true that inspiration is only 1% and 99% is perspiration! 2 months in the making which was over seen by a very good friend Sharman Towers who runs the MIAS website, truly appreciate all Sharman's help and advice.

I truly hope that these photos will inspire you to watch Man in a Suitcase as this series has inspired films and TV shows for decades and i'm sure will do so for the foreseeable future. Tom Cruise was inspired by McGill's look when he made the film Collateral and i have noticed a few scenes from MIAS cropping up in films such as The Matrix 2?! Check out the episode Man from the Dead, there is a scene on a football pitch where McGill runs across it only to be confronted by all sides by Agents running towards him until McGill disappears under all these Agents... tell me i'm wrong?! 

Would love to read your comments, please leave a comment or two would love to hear from you, especially if you are inspired to watch MIAS from my blogs and photo shoot.  
More photos are available to see in the Man in a Suitcase Page, Facebook and Twitter.
