The first picture of the two I posted was taken on the inside of that very tower, if I'm not mistaken. I lost access to the castle when Chris died, and often wished I could shoot there again. He had also converted one of the old barns into a lavishly equipped photo studio, but I was more interested in working with the castle itself. It was overcast with occasional light rain the day of that shoot, and somewhat cool, but the model was a pro and didn't let it faze her.
