Two weeks ago I received an interesting call. “Hey Stew, can you help me out with some promotional photos?”. The call was from my friend Fiona who I met at a photography course about 3 years ago. “We need some images to help raise awareness for Ocean Angels”.
Let me explain. In December 2007 Fiona and 3 other girls begun a 74 day adventure rowing across the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for cancer research and charities caring for cancer sufferers. Although they raised a ton of money I remember Fiona swearing that she would never do it again. I guess the lure of spending another 74 days with 3 people in a very small boat was too much as she’s at it once more. This time the girls are going to row 3,100 nautical miles across the Indian Ocean with the aim to raise money for Breast Cancer Care whilst making history as the first women to row across the Indian Ocean!
Fiona continues…”we need a rowing theme but with a difference so we’re thinking little black dresses and high heels, what do you think?”
“When and where” I replied.
Please help the girls reach their target by heading over to Ocean Angels – www.oceanangels.co.uk and donating some cash to have your mug shot put on their boat! How cool is that!
Below are just a few of the images from the shoot. Feel free to send the girls a good luck message using the comment link or if you’re a blogger please tell your readers about them or link here.
A special thanks to David from Leeds Rowing Club who let us use their boat house and oars.
