March Flower Updates

in

There is a mixture of flowers I got from the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. this month, along with some random bits Amy found in the hedgerows. So we have quite a lot to feast your eyes on. I would really like to photograph poppy's, but they are so hard to transport home as the often wilt before reaching their destination. I suppose the trick might be to go see them in situ on a clear and calm day.

So thank you then going out to my friends Chris and the ladies at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. As well as a nod to my wife Amy. Well that's it for this March's updates, I do hope you enjoyed them and see you again next month.

Holly Whaling – First Shoot

in

Its always good to work with new people from time to time and Holly Whaling is a fresh new face on the block. Elegant and sophisticated for someone so young, she looked great in front of the camera. We shot again at Zavod Studio in Sheffield, as Holly and her Mum Emma had to travel down from further north. So it was like meet in the middle. Holly was lovely and brilliant to work with. I got some pleasing results and dearly hope to work with her again in the new year. Thank you goes out to Holly and Emma as well as my team, Shadrine from Kavour Beauty on makeup and Amy for assistance. A shout out also to Xenia Model for her studio and lighting.

Asian model Supple Suki second look in a two girl shoot with Yoo Yoo this time.. Solo Images

in

It is always good to see Suki back in the studio and has she got some moves. This is her second shoot with me and the team at the Boardroom Studio, but this time we twinned her up with a second Asian model Yoo Yoo. She is a popular model with fitting in shoots and acrobatics around the pole. So we are really lucky to get her. Certain times of the year she is away working abroad, teaching her moves to other acrobatic nimble student. And its just nice to see her again. She is so sweet and came up to me after the shoot and said what an honour it was working together again. Nearly made me cry! I was quite touched. So enjoy her solo images.

Both Suki and Yoo Yoo together for this segment of the shoot. Thankfully we had a time when both models crossed over while having their makeup done by Shadrine, so were able to feature together. I really do believe they compliment each other and look good. I am thinking strongly about getting them back together again later in the year for another double shoot again.

Yoo Yoo came all the way up from London to do this shoot with me at the studio and I am glad she did. She first contacted me through a model/photographers web site asking about bookings and possible shoot. A native of China, she was great and really worked well with Suki, but these are her solo images. Thanks then to Yoo Yoo for coming all that way, I hope it was worth it and look forward to a second shoot sometime in Autumn time.


Aasiya Azeemali – First Shoot

in

Aasiya is a new model to me who contacted me through Instagram. A point to add here is that she is the first model to contact me through this platform that was an actual human and not a BOT created by a computer or a scammer in anyway, which makes a refreshing change on top of which she was lovely. She arranged to meet up with me and brought her Mum with her and we went out shooting in a few locations in town. Aasiya is a Muslim model and a hijab wearer, which was another first for me and we got some great pictures together.

I have asked if Aasiya would like to be my first model back in a February shoot next year at The Boardroom Studio on Derby with Shadrine my makeup artist from Kavour Beauty? She has agreed, so all looks good to go on that front.

I hope you enjoy our work together?

Maryna Sedin Fashion Photo Shoot

in

This month I was to photograph the lovely Marie Jean Saxton model again, but it has had to be postponed due to being very heavy with child. So that left a vacancy and opportunity to work with a new model. Welcome then Maryna Sedin, who stepped forward to fill the vacancy … and she was amazing.

Taken at the Boardroom Studio, in Derby she came all the way up from London to star in the shoot. I pointed the camera at her after hair and makeup and she drop straight into poses. A true professional and brilliant. Have a look at the pictures and see for yourself. I should like to thank all involved, to Maryna for her modelling. To Shadrine at Ka'Vour Beauty. To Phil Lynam at The Boardroom Studio for all his help. To Chris, Nina and Gail at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours for the gypsophila, To Karen and Carmen at Ma & Ma Fashions for the Chinese dress and costume jewellery. To Retoucher Sophia in Vietnam for her image enhancement and of course Amy for her assistance. X

Nuria Do Prado Real Shoot

in

This is a kind of once more around the block shoot with my old and dear friend Nuria Do Prado Real. She still looks as lovely as ever and it was fun to work with her once again. Thank you also to Shadrine at Ka’Vour Beauty and Phil at The Boardroom Studio, Derby. See you all in the new year I hope?

Zhane Harrison First Shoot, May 2019

in

I put a post up on a modelling website a few weeks back and got some interesting people respond to my post .Barring in mind I asked for models without tattoo’s - So why then did I get a ton load of models covered in the bloody things ? Obviously both reading and understanding are an alien concept for some people? Anyway, out of much of the chaff came this great model and I thought I would give her a chance. She as reasonably new to modelling but shows such promise. So I asked her along to the Tyler Dyce / Monalisa Moyo shoot to try her out in front of the camera. She did not let me down - and here are the results. There is also a big debt of thanks here to the amazing hair and make-up by Karen Hegarty MUA. for all her brilliant work on the day. So It is fair to say I am so pleased with these shoot results and hope to work with this amazing model again soon. …. Welcome to the team Zhane Harrison.

Tyler Dyce - April Shoot

in

Yes she’s back again for yet another shoot. Welcome back Tyler Dyce and this time on a cold and blowing location at the War Memorial. She was amazing as always despite freezing to death.This shoot has been named ‘The Great Gates’ Shoot, so thanks to Tyler and to her brother Steffon for helping out with the lights. More, much more from this model coming in the year.
