ST. TRINIAN'S PHOTOSHOOT 2019
On August Bank Holiday Monday 2019, Jack coordinated a professional black and white photoshoot at privately owned Gotherington Station which runs alongside the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. The idea was to recreate the original 1966 film "St Trinian's Great Train Robbery" where a group of schoolgirls rescue the loot from the robbers and take it away by train while using a pump trolley and Wickham trolley.
The girls played a vital part in the photoshoot with them being the main focus on the day, their challenge was to look 'in character' as much as possible, so with a bit of research from photographs online from the 1966 film they managed to pull it off, despite the weather being incredibly warm!
Gotherington Station was a perfect venue for the shoot, it has so much to offer from a photography perspective. Not only do you have the passing trains on the GWSR preserved railway, but in the station garden there's a Signalbox, station platforms, standard gauge railway with a Wickham and Pump trolley to use, plus many out buildings and original railway signs.
