the place with the stairs looks interesting, and allows you to shoot down or up

Not sure if it's the right location for rags to riches though, in my mind I'd be thinking Cinderella type, like an old kitchen, by an open fire near a coal shed etc.

i see where you are coming from on the cinders thing.. but we're free to interpret the theme how we want...

we're doing a posh lass on her way to an evening function... taken a wrong turn on her way taking a shortcut kinda thing... so... running scared looking over her shoulder etc... has to be high fashion as it is for a fashion magazine (well... the assignment is anyway)... its almost as though it is riches to rags... the posh lass contrasting against the concrete jungle

that makes more sense, esp with it being fashion and not fantasy / conceptual art

Should be able to have some fun at those locations, a subway could work well too, esp for the over the shoulder look, maybe have her pushing one of the trolleys too, but with some crazy expensive hand bag draped over the front (might be too surreal).

can you believe they didn't like the original locations as they were too 'scummy'?  :huh:
