The series was photographed in amazing locations around Europe including the ‘Versailles of Berlin’ Sanssouci Park, a 16th century chapel and castle near to Uppsala, Sweden, the beautifully preserved manor house Anstey House in Cambridge, UK and the Old School House in the centre of Helsinki. These locations are chosen to work with the aesthetic and character of the performer
