Our version

To recreate this Duffy image, we went back to the location where it was originally shot on Westminster Bridge in London. We tried to emulate the pose of Judy Dent, and positioned our model on the left-hand third, similar to Duffy’s composition. As we were shooting on a busy bridge, using lights wasn’t an option. Instead we made the most of the natural, diffused light to capture a similar, subdued atmosphere like the original. We used a reflector to bounce a bit of light back into the scene to lift the shadows.
