Balancing Act . . .

From an article called "Made In Britain", in which 12 "young British stars" were photographed in natural surroundings doing anything they felt like with a prop stool or chair.

As stylist Jason Flemyng explains: "The photos came about from a desire to work together and to do portraits of actors in a way that is seldom seen: no lights, no makeup artists, no lengthy set-ups. All these pictures were done within ten minutes, giving them a natural energy which is what we wanted to try and capture."
