Easter Bunny Shoot

My first shoot of 2015! Yay! It seems my shoots this year might be happening more... I am finally meeting some models who are kind of local to me here. 

Here was my first shoot, I wanted to do an Easter Bunny themed shoot. But with a Swedish twist! The Easter eggs here are cardboard eggs that you fill yourself with candy, no chocolate eggs here like in the UK... 

Here you can see model LiWe with some of those eggs as well as feathers, which are also used here to decorate things with for Easter. Don't ask me why, if you want to find out i am sure you can read about it on Google... 

So we met up on the beach of the second largest lake in Sweden,where i live, and here are the results!

And here LiWe mentioned that it is a big deal in Sweden when these buds come out on the trees, it means spring is finally here! So we tried to feature them in some photos.

I was quite pleased with the results, I think we were both a little rusty but it came out ok.

It was quite sunny with no clouds so I had to keep the sun behind her to avoid shadows on her face, although I didn't do this for the first photos with the eggs as I reallllly wanted the water in the background, but luckily the shadows aren't that bad.

As usual, I used my canon 50mm fixed lens at f1.8, i am getting another error message when i try to use it at f2.8 but i have no money to get it fixed OTL

I have some more photos for my next post from this shoot, so check back in a little while. And thanks for reading! You can see my newest updates on my facebook page. 

Long Grass Shoot

Another blog post about my last shoot. Although that was now a few months ago! But i have been away for a month on a cruise and visiting family back in the UK.

As I have said the weather was sooo hot in the end, we had really strong sun beaming down on us. So I had to try and use the sun to my advantage. We found this grassy area and i sat Sara in a speckled shady part under a tree, again with the sun behind her.

I loved using the lens flare in this shoot, I LOVE lens flare and i have never really used it before this shoot, but i really love the results. I know there are probably some people out there who say ewww lens flare, but hey, Sara and I both loved the results from this shoot!

Here are some more very summary photos:

I didn't like crouching in the long grass so much, because I don't want to get creepy crawleys on me, but at least this part of grass didn't have loads of stinging nettles like the next bit we decided to sit down in did! haha, more about that in my next blog post.

As always, check my facebook page for updates and unseen images!

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.
