90s Shoot Behind Scenes

My last shoot was with Becky from Oxygen Models, Kelly O did hair and makeup, Zoe Hughes Stylist brought a great selection of 90s themed outfits-brought back great memories! 
Before we started the day the weather forecast was looking very ominous. As we looked up a black stormy looking cloud was hovering over us, it gave out 90% chance of rain but like a miracle it did not rain!
Action Records in Preston was kind enough to let us use the shop to prep and to photograph inside. It is a great little record store and will be re-visiting.www.actionrecords.co.uk
For the rest of the 90s look we went for the street and urban look combine with 90s theme clothes both grunge and pop.
It was good fun and thanks to Nic Cole scouting this location for us!
John C Taylor assisted me with the shoot to and we made best us of the natural light available.

           

Summer Garden Shoot

It was a lovely day to do a garden shoot, The perfect weather and perfect weekend to shoot on as all the flowers were out to work with. the girls looked identical with the sunglasses on which worked well. I got sun flare at the end which I wanted to add to get the feel of it being summery. The team worked well together to help create a beautifully feminine, fresh and summer looking shoot.

Location scouting

Having gone freelance now for a little while I have more time to collaborate. I have been up Pendal Hill this weekend.. a bit of a mission.. looking for perfect areas and locations.
I don't think I could get everyone and everything up there without somebody passing out probably me!

I am looking to shoot on a beach as the weather is slowly  coming back, love the sunshine it is very inspiring.

Meanwhile I have been working on two business ideas with meetings to follow this week with miss Nic Cole and others. :)
