Up Helly Aa 2011 Build Up

This year I helped Cecil with the individual Jarl squad photographs.  John Hunter is this year’s Guizer Jarl and we met him and his squad at the Whiteness and Weisdale Hall on Sunday.  The outfits are terrific this year and I was particuarly impressed with the design on the helmets.  I managed to capture a few candid images below to give you a flavour of the atmosphere.

Individual photographs of the Jarl Squad will be available to view and purchase in a range of different products at The Camera Centre from today.  The images on show here are available to purchase online in my Up Helly Aa 2011 gallery which can be accessed here.

All the best to John and his squad for a fantastic day (and night!).
