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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
