Lyra Rose Fashion Shoot

in

Everybody welcome the lovely Lyra Rose Model in her first shoot with the team and I. She was a great model and perfect for the job. Punctual, polite and needed no prompt she got stuck in with the shoot and gave us some great pictures. Especially the ones with the Fab Lolly and the hundreds and thousands all over her lips and hands. I think we shall be getting Lyra Rose back for another session sometime early in the New Year after I have thought of some new ideas she would be good for. So thank you Lyra and thanks also to to Shadrine at Kavour for her hair and makeup and Phil for his wonderful studio The Boardroom, in Derby. It goes without saying a thank you also to Amy for her help and food.

Munira Model 5th Photo shoot

in

Perineal lovely Munira Model was back with us in the studio for March, looking radiant and as lovely as ever. We pushed the boat out a bit this month with some yellow baggy trousers that you would not wear to church and a stripy blazer and top hat. The original inspiration was of a picture I thought good of singer Janet Jackson. So we made our own version. Munira also brought along an incredible patterned skirt that looked Persian. It was made for pictures and looked great on her. We even got to do some snaps in the studios back garden. So thanks to all there. Munira Model, Shadrine from Kavour Beauty. Phil Lynam from The Boardroom Studio and of course Amy.

Ivory Flame Photoshoot

in

We kicked of the year with our first shoot featuring Ivory Flame. A very highly sort after model with a very distinctive look. We got a lot done as well. Mainly portrait shots some were even taken using 35mm film and 120 medium format film. It created a different, more dreamy look to the pictures. Some images were shoot using a piece of perspex I purchased from Amazon and are amongst my favourites. They are the first ones in the gallery. Notice also the images with coffee paper over Ivory Flames right eye. That was just A4 sheet paper soaked in coffee and dried then cut to shape. I like the results. Thanks then To Ivory for modelling and we will defiantly be seeing her again. To Shadrine at Kavour for her brilliant makeup and hair. To Phil at the Boardroom Studio in Derby and of course to Amy for her help. See more of Ivory Flame at her website www.ivoryflame.co.uk

Eva Mengling Pu First Shoot

in

I wanted to work with someone new to me and was approached by oriental model Eva Mengling Pu to do a shoot together. She travelled a long way to attend the shoot, so only thought it fair to put her up in a hotel for the night. So come the shoot day, she was full of life and eager to get involved with the day in front. Eva was great and a pleasure to work with. Getting some almost Halloween ish sets done, although that was not the original aim of the set. There are as well as some Art Deco inspired theme shoots. Thanks then to all involved with the shoot. To Shadrine at Kavour Beauty for all the hair and beauty. To Phil Lynam and his studio at at The Boardroom Studio in Derby. And to Amy for her help and sourcing the materials. Thank you all.

Model Maryna Sedin 3rd Photoshoot

in

Its always good when awsome supermodel Maryna Sedin drops by the studio for a shoot. She is so natural. Point the camera and off she goes making magic.

So this shoot I would try to have made on the day a paper dress. Not something made out of old newspaper, but rather out of the paper that bunches of flowers come wrapped in. I put this idea to Chris at https://flowerstoyours.com/eco-friendly-flowers and https://www.bramblesflowers.com/ and see if it could be done. He provided me with two rolls of paper, one plain and the other with pink dots on it. And it worked. Maryna wore a simple grey dress underneath as the paper was wrapped around her by Shadrine and Amy pinning it up at the back … and it looked great.!

We also created an all red effect with a red hijab, long red coat, shoes (red of course) and leggings to create an androginous look.. Through in a big red beach ball and red umbrella and you get the idea. Maryna also came with her own clothes that were checkerd black and white. So with some half / half balck and white makeup another look was created on the spot. Thanks then to everyone involved with the shoot. To Chris at https://flowerstoyours.com/eco-friendly-flowers and https://www.bramblesflowers.com/ to Shadrine at https://www.facebook.com/Kavourbeauty/ for her hair and makeup. To Phil Lynam at https://www.theboardroom.studio/ to Amy for her asssistance and of course the lovely Maryna Sedin whithout whom it all would not have been possible.

Model Mercybongo Photoshoot

in

Can you believe it this is Mercybongos seventh shoot with us at the studio and this month we have a bit of an Audrey Hepburn and Janet Jackson feel to it. Taken at, and with thanks to the brilliant https://www.theboardroom.studio/ This shoot features Mercybongo in a different style than we have previously done. The model wears what I call her Naomi Campbell long straight wig with black trousers and a pair of fishnet tights with the feet cut off over her top half and bra. This is an old trick I picked up decades ago and it creates a very edgy and strong (Janet Jackson) look. Its also cheap as you can get a simple pair of fishnets from Primark for about four quid. Mercy is also wearing a long black dress with white collar. Her hair is up with a tiara in it and some fancy pants lighting behind her. This I hope gives a classic Audrey Hepburn 'Breakfast at Tiffanys' look. There is also a third more spanish inspired look that is light, bright and orange / yellow..Thanks then to Shadrine at https://www.facebook.com/Kavourbeauty/ for her hair and makeup. To Phil Lynam at https://www.theboardroom.studio/ and a nod to my lovely wife Amy for her help.

I hope you enjoy them?

Digital Art – Update

in

These four digital art images are of Munira Model taken at our second shoot with her (more below). The original versions were blurred because I screwed up and used the wrong lens on the camera. Still not the end of the world when you can do some digital manage on them and make them look reasonable again. I know I am giving the game away here, but you only learn by your mistakes.
