Preston shoot

On sunday we will be working on a shoot in Preston with Nemesis model Eden and Kelly O makeup artist.
Hoping for dry weather but most likely will be rain - thinking up ideas and use of props for this type of shoot. The location will be in a car park so lots of minimal looking spots. 
Looking forward to shooting it seems like a while since testing now. 
I am only taking very specific tests due to starting a project involving more set ups which I am also looking forward to. :)

Last saturday I went location scouting at Haigh Hall. Looking for the setting that would be my first shoot for the project, this hall is lovely with the full length windows. 

Looking forward to making props and seeing the props made by Natalie Armin.

I took my Diana camera to take shots - I will be starting a book for the project so I will be using the polaroids to make a scrap book and starting with all the research. 

I look forward to unfolding the project idea and the creating the shoots to come.

Alice Barlow Shoot

Last weekend was a great shoot working with the lovely Alice Barlow former Hollyoaks actress in Studio Manchester. Charlotte from So Coco Rouge did a great job with the makeup and Nic Cole accessories and styling for the beauty shots.

It was interesting to hear there was a dance class with more Actors but from Coronation st with Jack P Shepard and more actors.

I was using a beauty dish and grey background with a backlight and side polly board and put the white walls to use as well. 

Battersea Park London shoot

Aimee - Eclipse models and Cassie - Gtm models,  photos from my last shoot in London.

Cassie is more spring summer looking and Aimee more Autumn/ winter they were great to work with, lovely girls.

It had been raining constantly throughout the previous few days but by saturday it was dry thankfully. I put to use the nature/ leaves around us and worked it into the shoot. 

John helped out with the reflector and location scouting along with Simon Dredge. Styling by myself and models own. Battersea park was a good base as there were plenty of quiet spaces behind gated walk ways.

Shoots

Looking forward to collaborating with GTM Models and Alice Barlow this and next month.
