I really liked the two open doors and the story they tell, so the framing of the photograph pretty much worked itself out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I really love working with artists. They are very engaged during the shoot and it makes my job as a photographer easier. In all the photographs, there are a number of items included whose true meaning only Juliette knows!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_617\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-617\" style=\"width: 531px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Juliette-Burton-Actress-Comedienne-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-617\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Juliette-Burton-Actress-Comedienne-2-531x800.jpg\" alt=\"Light painting of actress, writer and performer Juliette Burton sitting in front of the fireplace in her Edinburgh flat\" width=\"531\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Juliette particularly liked the fireplace in her flat. This is my favourite of the four set ups we tried.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But the beauty of photographs is that you can interpret them in your own way, even if that isn\u2019t what the subject and photographer intended. And I\u2019m sure you can create your own story with each of the photographs shown here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_618\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-618\" style=\"width: 531px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Juliette-Burton-Actress-Comedienne-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-618\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Philippe-Monthoux-Edinburgh-Juliette-Burton-Actress-Comedienne-3-531x800.jpg\" alt=\"Light painting of actress, writer and performer Juliette Burton standing by the fireplace in her Edinburgh flat\" width=\"531\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is my second favourite of the fireplace setups. The wall was rather bland, and you may have notices that I overlaid a texture on top of the photographs to make the wall a bit more interesting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Juliette was a joy to collaborate with. A subject is always vulnerable in front of the camera, and she\/he must trust the photographer to do them justice. Juliette and I first met on the photo shoot and I was very grateful she trusted me from the beginning. That is why I\u2019m really delighted she likes the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last December, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Juliette Burton.
