Chef Simon

Here is Simon, in a static caravan, looking at an I-pad. It was late evening and very cold, hence the glow of a vertical, one bar electrical heater. He is a chef, working at Wiveton Hall, on the North Norfolk coast, and sleeps overnight in the caravan on site. We drank, smoked, talked shit and laughed, listening to music in the middle of the nowhere in the middle of the night. I cut away the windows behind him and replaced them with another photo I took years ago. I immediately thought of this photograph when considering the background, it was purely instinctive. It is a shot through a Motel window of a sunrise over the Nullabor in Australia. I was about to drive down the longest straight road (90 miles) in Oz; the Eyre Highway.
