Cambridge Ballerina Project – Gabby & Helen

I’d seen Helen dance in the CU Ballet Show last February, so I was keen to finally arrange a ballet photoshoot with her. And at a recent dance audition, I met Gabby, who was keen to join in the Cambridge Ballerina Project fun and share a shoot with Helen at the end of the academic term. Rather than postpone the shoot because of the unexpected cold weather and snow, the two were even more keen to model in the snow.

Photoshoot with Monika

My now-regular visits to MAD Studios (now http://www.whitespacestudios.co.uk/) are simply because the studio owner keeps arranging model days with some of the best models working in the UK. Many of Monika’s portfolio pictures had found their way into my mood board of inspiring photos, so it was only natural that I’d take the opportunity to shoot with her.

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Sinead

After the beautiful autumnal shoot with Hanna, I arranged a similar shoot with another ballet dancer, Sinead, whom I’ve known for several years through Cambridge’s dance scene. She danced with the Norwegian National Ballet for a year before coming to Cambridge, and has been involved in Cambridge Contemporary Dance throughout her degrees here. Luckily for us, the date we picked for this shoot was yet another rare day of sunshine amidst days of grey cloud.
