Munira Model 8th Shoot Shoot

Oh no! its the lovely Munira Model returned for her eighth shoot. I say ,Oh No …. but it really should be oh yes as she is brilliant and puts so much into our shoots. And she is lovely with it as well, an treat to work with and know. The theme for this months shoot was getting the look from Spanish Flamenco Dancers, as well as jewellery made from yellow jelly babies. We will see more of Munira again soon as I want her to star in the first shoot of 2027 in February. She is that good. So thanks to all there. To Munira, Thanks then to Shadrine at Kavour Beauty. Phil Lynam at The Boardroom Studio in Derby and my dear wife Amy for all their hard work.

Maryna Sedin Fifth Shoot

This month we got back the lovely Maryna Sedin for a fifth time. The themes for this shoot include spoon jewellery in ear rings and necklace with assistance from my Father and his friend Alan for drilling the holes in the spoons. Batman was the final theme with Maryna wearing a mask and her ever so long legs on display. So thanks then to all who were there. To Maryna Sedin and Shadrine at Kavour Beauty. Phil Lynam at The Boardroom Studio in Derby and my dear wife Amy for all their hard work.

Apologies for it being a short one this month, its just the heat is crippling me.

Be sure to come back next month for more I hope …. weather permitting.

Ivory Flame – Second Shoot

Ivory Flame returned for a second shoot and it was another off the wall, creative day again. I had long wanted to recreate (in the style of) a closing scene in the Ashes To Ashes music video by David Bowie. To make it work we needed the right model and lots of coiled black conduit which we purchased from Amazon. And it worked. Yes it does not exactly look the same, but it is the style of which is close enough. Also there are some images inspired by a Joker Doll I liked the look of on a Batman comic. In some of the variations you can see kitchen units attach to the pictures.

Why?

The idea is to get the viewer to look twice at the pictures and kitchen units are the opposite to the freaky portraits. A bit of a sublime to the ridicules if you follow.

There is also a stand alone image called Temptation where Ivory Flame is stuck in the middle of a good version of her and a bad version of her. Both whispering into her ear.

I hope you like them.

Thanks then go to model Ivory Flame, to Shadrine at Kavour Beauty. Phil Lynam at The Boardroom Studio in Derby and my dear wife Amy for all their hard work.

Welcome back for her third fashion shoot with us is London based, Chinese national and brilliant model Yoo Yoo. She is one of those models you only have to point the camera at and she goes straight into poses. It makes life so easy and a joy to work with.

Thanks as always to Phil at the Boardroom Studio in Derby and Shadrine at Kavour Beauty on the makeup. Thanks also to Amy and Yoo Yoo.

Munira & Mercybongo third Shoot Together

As I mentioned this was the postponed shoot from December 2025, finally completed in January starring Munira Model and Mercybongo together for a third time. Sadly Shadrine could not make the shoot as she had had an accident and was resting up in Hospital.

So thank you then to our two star models, the lovely Munira and Mercybongo. Thanks to Phil at The Boardroom, in Derby for all his help and of course Amy for assisting me on the day.

Fern Thompson second shoot

Fern Thompson who I briefly worked with a couple of years back at a location shoot in a train station, has been pushing her plate up for another shoot ever since. She has waited a long time, but finally we got together again at the studio in Derby. Fern came all the way from the outskirts of Manchester and she was brilliant. We completed three sets including some breakfast munchies and a heavy pink hair dryer. I really enjoyed the shoot and we have plans for next years Summer to do a location shoot near Salford, Manchester.

So thanks then as usual to Fern for modelling Shadrine at Kavour for her makeup magic and to Phil at The Boardroom, in Derby for all his help.

Munira Model sixth shoot

Muniras back and looking as lovely as ever. She is a great model and such fun to work with. So good infact that she is coming back for Decembers Christmas shoot with Mercybongo at the studio. On this shoot we had a few props like the jewel face mask that was made of old silver coloured coins as well as a battered up old piano, left on sight at the studio by a previous client. It had been painted with a big flower design, but had seen better days as it had been left outside in someone back yard for a while and the weather had got to it. That said it added by chance to the flower them we had so good timing. I would then like to thank Shadrine at Kavour for her makeup magic and to Phil at The Boardroom, in Derby for all his help. Thank you also to our amazing model Munira, who smashed it again !!!

Mercybongo at the Art Gallery

This months model shoot was with our old friend and regular Mercybongo, but this time on location at the Art Gallery. Mercy wore a fetching orange wig to this shoot and a few woollen costumes that stood out against the bleakness of the grey concrete walls. Sadly someone graffiti the wall outside the building and it was inturn painted over. Yet it stands out as the colours do not match and it looks ugly.

As it was a location shoot and time was against us we did not have Shadrine to do the makeup in this case. So Mercy did her own and it still looks nice. So thank you then to model Mercybongo and to Amy for her help on the day. Thank you to the Art Gallery for the great location.

I hope you all enjoy it.

Emily Bajic Fashion Shoot

This was a shoot that nearly never happened. I had originally booked asian model Supple Suki for this Augusts event, but I screwed up. I failed to confirm it with Suki and so she took another booking elsewhere. I had to scramble around for another model who was size six dress and was lucky to find the lovely Emily Bajic. She was perfect for the job and a delight to work with. We did quiet a bit of the blurred look I like doing, many of which you can see here on this blog. The shoot took place at The Boardroom, and Makeup was provided with grace by Shadrine at Kavour

Thanks then to Phil and Shadrine as well as model Emily and Amy for her help.
