Xenia Model Shoot at Zavod Studio

in

This is our second shoot with Xenia Model and this time on her patch. We hired Xenia at her own studio in Sheffield, Zavod Studio. This being the second shoot of two Cities and two studios in one day. It exhausted me out, but worth it.

There are some specials for this part of the days work, but sadly at the time of publishing this blog for November, they were still not edited. I shall have to show you them with Izzt Holidays specials next month.

So thanks to all there. Xenia model. Amy and Shadrine from Kavour Beauty for her sterling work on makeup.

Also here is wishing Xenia a great wedding day this coming Saturday. All the best sweetheart x

Lydia Clifford – Girl On Fire RED Shoot

in

Like I mentioned earlier I was not intending to do any shoots in August, but then this lovely fashion model and redhead Lydia Clifford (Girl On Fire) contacted me and I could not say no. Amy and I worked with Lydia down at the Boardroom Studio in Derby for two hours with the theme being RED.

And She was amazing ! She does dropped into posses with little need for direction, all natural and I think we got some great images of her. I would definitely like to do another shoot at a later date with Lydia again sometime, so thank her for her input. Thanks also to Phil Lynam at the Boardroom Studio and birthday girl on that day, my wife Amy.

Monalisa Moyo – On Location #2 Shoot

in

It was lovely to see and work with my old friend and longest serving model Monalisa Moyo again. These images were taken on location again on what was her 30th Birthday (I first worked with Monalisa when she was nineteen!!) We have not seen Monalisa since she kick started the year for me with a January shoot in my grotty bathroom if you can all remember? So here she is on the suspension bridge and against the pink wall. I would like to tell you they were taken in an exotic country, but the reality is they were in somewhere not quite so glamorous and around the corner from me. Still they turned out nice and Monalisa looked great in her kaftan and blue dress.

Monalisa First Shoot of 2023 'Fashion 30

in

There was not supposed to be a photo shoot this January as I needed a rest, but I got itchy fingers. No that does not mean I went out shoplifting, rather I called up my old fried Monalisa Moyo to see if she was up to an impromptu shoot at my house. And she was thankfully.

These pictures were taken in my sparse bathroom which is safe to say is not the parlay Ritz, but with some powdered milk in the bath water and on a cold day outside, we got the task done in one take. Thanks then to lovely fashion model, my friend, Monalisa Moyo for her time.


Mercybongo First Shoot (but not the last!)

in

I finished of the year in the studio with a truly great model who is reasonably local to me and happy to have weird ideas run past her for shoots. Mercybongo is a lovely African lady who put herself to out of the way the day before the shoot and have her hair specially braided at Shadrines Beauty Salon This help enormously as on the day Shadrine could weave small pieces of rope into her hair.

Mercy was a pleasure to work with and we already have plans lined up for more shoots in the new year so I can not wait. The big rope was supplied by Phil Lynam at the excellent Boardroom Studio, so a big shout to him. As well as a thank you to both Mercy and at Kavour Beauty.
