D-Myst Event Shoot - March 31st 2009

D-MYST is a smokefree movement led by and for young people in Liverpool.

Dupe were invited to a ceremony held in Liverpool where D-MYST members received a special award by the WHO. The ceremony featured special guest Carley Stenson who plays Steph Cunningham in Hollyoaks.

The organisation, provides young people with an opportunity to air their views and concerns on tobacco and to take action to de-normalise and de-glamorise smoking by:

• Raising the awareness of the dangers of tobacco and exposure to second-hand smoke amongst other young people
• Campaigning for and promoting smokefree environments for all
• Campaigning to get rid of smoking and the placement of tobacco products in the media that is predominantly targeted at young people.

SmokeFree Zombies at Liverpool One

Dupe Creative were on hand to capture a scary sight in Liverpool City Centre last week.

Leading North West marketing consultancy Kenyon Fraser organised the event on behalf of SmokeFree Liverpool.A 70-strong group of dancers and members of the SmokeFree youth group, D-Myst, marched through the city in scary costumes to raise awareness of smoking in youth rated movies.

Smoking in movies is believed to be the biggest single influence on young people to start smoking. SmokeFree Liverpool are asking UK film regulators BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) to keep smoking out of all future films which can be seen by under-18s.

Our photographer, Matt Goodfellow, did his best to keep up with the group as they dashed from street to street, terrifying shoppers as they went (the dancers that it, not Matt).

For more information about the event, visit the Kenyon Fraser and SmokeFree Liverpool websites.

Event Photography, Barnston Dale

First of all, apologies for the lack of updates recently. Summer has been and gone for Dupe, expect far more updates over the coming weeks.

This week saw Dupe head to The Barnstondale Centre to shoot for a recent launch event. I have particularly fond memories of the centre having spent a weekend there many moons ago whilst at primary school.

Things have really moved on there of late. They offer the opportunity to experience a wide range of moral building outdoor pursuits offsite such as canoeing, rock climbing, orienteering and problem solving to children of all areas and backgrounds.
