SHOOTING WITH HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS - STEMS DESIGN FLORISTS - SKY SPORTS TV

This week I had the unique opportunity of photographing along side Sky Sports TV, a Giant & a Florist!

Earlier in the week I was asked by the Huddersfield Giants Commercial Manager if I could recommend any Florists that would be interested in teaching a Huddersfield Giant rugby player how to do Floristry for a feature Sky Sports wanted to film. I had no hesitation in recommending my friend Lynne at Stems Design in Kirkheaton, Huddersfield  who was well up for the challenge!

So the scene was set, we had Lynne the Florist ready in her workshop at Stems Design in Kirkheaton, we had a film crew and presenter from Sky Sports TV and of course Mark Flynn photography covering the event for PR purposes, we just needed a rugby player. Enter stage left Eorl Crabtree "Super Prop" of the Huddersfield Giants Super League and a true Giant of a man at 6ft 5 inchs tall! Eorl was a bit doubtful at first but Lynne soon whipped him into shape; finally producing a superb flower bouquet. I think he secretly had fun doing it as well!

We don't know if there will be another feature for Sky Sports like this but Rugby Players and cake decoration were mentioned, so watch this space!

The feature is due to be aired on Sky Sports TV on Monday 11th June.
