I shot Miss Odelias Opium Den very early on in my photography work. This was at The Distillers pub in Hammersmith.

I remember it was a very snowy February evening and I was worried about the state of the local transport managing to get me home.

At this stage I was using my Canon 550d and Canon 55-250mm lens. Despite it being considered a kit lens I didn't know any better at the time.

That evening was the first time I met Violet Blaze, and my ribs will not let me forget it!
