The Stranglers - IV (Rattus Norvegicus)

Trevor Rogers' location shoot for The Stranglers' 1977 United Artists album cover, Rattus Norvegicus - shot with art director Paul Henry in a private house in Blackheath, south London.

The whole of the ground floor had been dressed in period, the entrance hall lined with stuffed animal heads, a long train carriage, a porcupine, unopened WWI letters still bearing their stamps. A fully dressed male mannequin lay at the centre of the compass-tiled hallway floor. Trevor set his Hasselblad up with a 50mm wide lens and a Polaroid back, shooting straight through the front door into the hall and beyond, chasing the depth of that long sightline through to the staircase and landing window at the rear. Shot on Hasselblad.
