This image is from the shoot for the music video, from which another two images were selected for use on the cover of the single for 'Back to Black'. Lake has discussed the shoot; I took this photo of Amy on the set of the Back To Black video shoot. We were squeezed into a tiny room in a terraced house in London. I remember it was really cold that day and it was hard to move for camera equipment and film crew all anxious to get their respective jobs done. Finding time with an artist on a video shoot was always pressured I was always searching for momentary interludes with her in the filming and we'd find little moments like this to work where in my head the chaos disappeared and it was just Amy. I can remember taking this photo like it was yesterday, that it has endured in the way it has, for the reasons it has is an honour as a photographer but inevitably just heart-breaking.
