Munira & Mercybongo third Shoot Together

in

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.

Munira Model sixth shoot

in

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 !!!

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.

Maryna Sedin 4th Fashion Shoot

in

Its that time of the year when we treat ourselves to a shoot with lovely Ukrainian model living in London, Maryna Sedin. This is our fourth photo shoot with her and was actually taken in the last days of May but missed out on the previous blog. What can I say about Maryna? She is just brilliant and a real gem to work with. She does not mind coming out from London as well which is a bonus and I only have to point the camera at her and she does her thing. Have a look at the pictures and see. Thanks then to Maryna for modelling. Thanks also to Shadrine at Kavour for her hair and makeup and Phil for his wonderful studio The Boardroom, in Derby. And thanks also to Amy for her help and food.

Mercybongo eleventh photo shoot

in

Ever lovely Mercybongo was the star of this months shoot at Boardroom Studio in Derby with some location shooting frown in as a bonus. Shadrine did the hair and makeup and we all ventured out into Derby going up the road to the St Marys Cathedral. Phil at the studio recommended the place and we used the two sides of the building. One side was in the dark, so a flash was needed and used. The other side was in the bright sun light. Mercybongo was great as ever and on the ball wearing a little creation Amy had put together. If you look at here jeans they are cut off at the mid leg area and several beaded 'thingies' are hanging down where the jeans once hung. Amy made that all herself and I appreciate the effort she put in as it adds to the vision I had of this shoot. She is going to alter them again by adding the camera shoulder straps at the bottom of the jeans to add a bit more contrast for the eye. Also another thanks to Amy for coming up with the idea for the second part of the shoot that was done in the studio. She made bows to go in Mercybongos hair using only the wrappers from a box of Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolates. And it worked as you can see from the picture. I also like the telephone Mercybongo came along with as that fitted in with the theme. So thanks to all there. To Mercybongo and to Amy and thanks also to Shadrine at Kavour for her brilliant makeup and hair. And of course Phil at the Boardroom Studio in Derby

Mercybongo will return in July for a location shoot in Kettering, so watch out for that.

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

Lujon Rael Portfolio 2024, A Year In Review Slideshow

in

As its the end of the year its a chance to have a quick look back at what we have achieved this past year in shoots. Slightly less shoots than we did the year prior, but quantity never trumps quality so I hope I have hit the mark this year. Just as little foot note the music I have used for this slideshow for a track by The Patti Smith Group called 'Because The Night' and it was the first record I purchased as a young teen in Kettering many decades ago. It still sounds good even now. Enjoy.
