English working class 1960's inspired editorial shoot
Brighton wasn't exactly the coolest place in England. "A lot of old people, mum!" So Taylor wasn't too excited to visit her Grandma for the weekend, as a London girl, the seaside town wasn’t what she was looking for. "Dad thinks it's the best way to forget about that bloke for a while." And what dad said was rule in the family.
The train ride was boring but went by surprisingly fast. Her grandma picked her up at the station. It was a bit embarrassing with all the people around, But she loved her. Besides that she made the best puddings.
Things changed when she saw the posters at the station. “The Who - playing tonight at the Dome”.
But how would she be able to sneak out.
At some point she had to find a reason to go to bed early. Grandma wouldn't allow her going to the Dome.
It was at that concert when she met Linn - they were playing 'I'm a boy' and she looked straight into her eyes when she bumped into her with her pint. There was something about that girl.

About the Photographer:
Thomas H.P. Jerusalem of MUTE Photography is a Chicago based German photographer. After living in Frankfurt, Germany and London, UK, he relocated to Chicago, in 2004. Thomas H.P. Jerusalem is specialized in fashion and conceptual photography with a focus on Magazine, editorial and commercial work.

He is a PhotoVOGUE Gold Artist, and has been listed in the ONE LIFE 2012 Catalog and is represented by the prestigious New York agency Art+Commerce/VOGUE NYC and LemonFRAME, Tel Aviv.
His childhood during the Cold War in West Germany and his father’s over-sized NY Photo Academy books from the sixties influenced his style that emphasizes atmosphere and strong narrative. Thomas H.P. Jerusalem started his career with Street Photography and Photojournalism, both very expressive ways of photography that forged his distinctive sensitive approach.
His work includes dark romantic, high-fashion, avant-garde and vintage space-age fashion photography with an European touch. His models are often placed in surreal environments - devastated, displaced, out of the world. Their appearances eerie and edgy with rebel and punk influences. Often spiced with irony and sarcasm. But always with a strong meaning or statement. His photographs are strong and are telling stories. His portraits are capturing souls - not just faces.
