Red

Here is the last of the images from my shoot last summer. 

Looking back on these, I do really love the colours. I am quite proud I managed to make do in the shadows on such a sunny day! I had trouble with shadows on a models face just this week, but I will get to that in another post... 

It's surprising what you can achieve in the local Rose Park.

You will notice that in some of these there are plants/bushes in the foreground, that is another thing I like including in my images.

The last three are some of my absolute favourites from this shoot. I love how the lens flare went across the models neck as she had her hands up, talk about perfect.
Do you guys have any favourites? Let me know in the comments!

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!

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.

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.

A Little Bit Of Summer

The other week I had a shoot at Canvey Island in Essex. I met Eden Alt Model at a nearby train station and we drove to Canvey Island, watching the black clouds as they descended upon us. 

We parked and had a scout around only to be watched by many eager men who were working on a building site. Eden managed to change in an outside toilet (very glam this modelling lark!) and we were ready. 

She had brought some amazing latex, a cute nautical bikini! We thought Canvey would be the perfect backdrop to the latex to get a really retro feel to the images. 

Just as we started taking photos the sun appeared! 

I am moving to Sweden tomorrow, I leave to get the ferry tomorrow to Denmark and then we drive from there. Well, I drive from there, my other half doesn't drive too well. Hopefully I will find some local models and get some interesting images with a totally different landscape and feel to them.
