It’s the end of a television highlight, as the compelling and dramatic HBO series, Succession draws to an end. This TV series has been one of my favourites. Watching the desperate infighting and grovelling of the Roy family children, has been equal parts stressful and hilarious. As I write this, I have the final episode still to go, so don’t worry, there will be no spoilers here!
In the promotional imagery for the series, and in some of the scenes, there is a strong use of blue, including in the set dressing and suits and outfits that the cast wear. So, for this recipe, I’ve looked to make the most of blue, with Classic Chrome and a striking cobalt tone.
Whilst this recipe started as a bit of fun, it’s actually an impactful look when used for coastal shots or landscapes with large sections of blue sky. Maybe you’ll give it a try, and will enjoy making power moves of your own.
