Fishtail

Today I will be talking about the final outfit of my last shoot with Sara Hedgren. 

We were in a public park not 5 minutes from where I live where Sara stripped off and walked around in her bra amongst the elderly people in the park, who didn't blink an eye. Although one lady did stop to tell her she looks beautiful! I guess that is what it is like in Sweden, not so prude as in the UK ;)

In the park there is this lovely white gazebo which worked out quite well, but I enjoy just using the flowers and plants in my photos too. 

As I said before for this shoot the sun was so strong that day I had to keep Sara in the shade and use the shade to my advantage, as well as use the lens flare to my advantage. I was only using my 50mm lens for the whole shoot, it is my favourite lens as I am a massive fan of blurred bokeh.

I guess it will be the new year before the final blog post about this shoot!
Have a great new year and happy holidays, and thanks for reading :)

Machete

I thought it was about time to update my blog with some more photos from my last shoot. 

The second outfit of the day was this one with this awesome machete. It was really fun to have this in the photos, I haven't done anything like it before. Again, I was playing around with the intense sunlight, creating lens flares. I had to keep the sun behind Sara otherwise the shadows on her face were too intense. 

We saw this log that was in a field of really long grass, we decided to wade through the grass to find out it was surrounded by stinging nettles. That was fun. Although, worth it.

I hope these photos brought some summer to these dark nights! 

Thanks for reading, and why not check out my facebook page.

Summer Shoot

I am finally writing a new blog post here! I haven't really been doing much photography so it is hard to find things to blog about, but i actually had a shoot last month! 

I was lucky enough to find Sara Hedgren, she is Swedish but lives in the US so it was lucky for us to be both in the same place in Sweden for a shoot. 

We chose a day to meet and it actually turned out with really strong and hot sun! The strong sun isn't so good for photos, so I had to keep finding shade for Sara to stand in otherwise she got too strong shadows on her face - not good.

We met up at a local rose garden to find so many beautiful, colourful flowers in full bloom! We just had to use them in the shots.

These are some of the first outfit we shot that day, in the next blog post I will share some more images :)

Flashback Friday!

According to the details on the images, this shoot was nearly a year ago! How time does fly. 

This was a group shoot I set up with my fellow university class mates, we had several models come along to Dieselpunk Studios with plenty of rooms to pick from to use as a backdrop. 

This lovely lady is Annie Andrews, I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of photographing her on this day.

She is a vintage enthusiast, so I thought this backdrop fitted her vintage suit pretty well for this more vintage feel shoot.

Throwback Thursday: A Colourful Pin Up

Here is a little look back at one of my favourite shoots I did when I was still at university. This was for my final major project, so I was in my final year and I had gotten the hang of using the studio we had on campus.

When I was looking for models who were willing to be photographed by someone still studying I would trawl through places like Facebook and model sites and message so many people. I came across this lovely lady and I am so glad I did!

Georgina Horne from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust, whose blog has since boomed and she keeps doing amazing photo shoots, everyone needs check it out.

First of 2014

I finally got to do my first shoot in Sweden, and of 2014! I had been in touch with a Swedish model who actually lives in the same town as me since last year but due to the weather etc. we couldn't get a shoot in last year. 

But a couple of weekends ago there was thick snow outside and the lake here was still, just perfect for the shoot. I met with Jenny Chanel and we got straight to it! 

Using the still water of a lake as a backdrop worked really well, the colour of the clouds almost blends into the water. I am really pleased with how these came out.

This is the first awesome style we went for.

There will be another update with the rest of this shoot some time soon.

Throwback Thursday: Another Steampunk Shoot

Since I haven't managed to do a photo shoot in what seems forever, I am going to post something about an old shoot that I didn't blog about at the time.

     Here is an old shoot I did when I was studying at University in 2012, we did a few outfits and this                  is the Steampunk style images we shot that day rather than my studio pin-up stuff. 

I met the lovely Victoria Plum at a great location that happened to have some ruins from an old church.

I also wanted to say that this blog has got over 10105 views!! Strange to think that even though I am having so much trouble to getting a photo shoot now here in Sweden.
