I really enjoyed this shoot. It was for The Hot Press Interview. Miriam was lovely, very down to earth and couldn't have been more generous with her time and patience.
I had a good wander around RTE TV studios while waiting for her, picking out various places I thought would be good for the shoot. I chose a wall in the corridor, an area in the Make-Up room, a props area backstage and the reception in a new building.
Miriam is so good at putting people at ease, I forgot who she was and we chatted about all kinds of things.
I asked her if Jason from Hot Press had managed to get any confessions out of her in the interview, like a lesbian affair in college for example, she said no, all very boring. With that Anne Doyle, the newsreader walked past and Miriam said "Anne, he's asking about our supposed lesbian affair", to which Anne paused for a moment and deadpanned "what do you mean supposed" before going in to read the news.
Now there was a shot I missed!
