Stuff for the streets of your town site 1 (derelict shops)

in

On the same day as my father took us out into the countryside for some scenic shots, we stopped then at the rear of some shops in the town. My Dad had previously pointed them out as an eye sore, but I thought of them more as an opportunity for photos as you do not often get to go near enough dilapidated buildings. This site was not fenced off, rather open to the public. We did not venture too far in as it is better safe than sorry when it caves in on you. I do think we got some half way decent shots both Amy and I. My favourites are of the graffiti wall with wisps of cloud above it in the blue sky. I hope you like them.

Maryna Sedin – Second Shoot – In The Garden

in

Here was a shoot planned many months ago and would always be at the mercy of the British weather. Lucky for us it did not rain that day until we were done. So this the second outing for amazing Maryna Sedin took place in and around my Fathers garden, on the last day of June 2023.

I had help from a great MUA from Northampton called Kerry Claire, who did a wonderful job on the lovely Ukrainian model Maryna Sedin, which went a good way to making this shoot so memorable. I must also mention my Mother for making some lovely nibbles for us all to eat at half time and of course Dad for making his garden accessible, neat and tidy for the shoot. My wife Amy cannot be left out as she was the lighting woman on every set, so thanks to her in no small way.

I do hope you all enjoy the results from this shoot?

'The Garden' – Update

in

In the day following our shoot with Maryna Sedin, I took the advantage of taking some fresh images of my father’s garden. It was still an overcast day, but the light was good enough for the task. I was aware that only a few years ago I had done similar, so was pushed to try not to photograph the same flowers. I don't think that was achieved, but I did attempt to capture them slightly different from the original garden shoot.

Thank you Dad for making such a great and lovely garden that I can work in. x
