Cambridge Ballerina Project – Suzie
Suzie is a second year Theology student, and performed in the last Cambridge Ballet Club show in February. I saw her again at a ballet class that Glory was teaching, and we arranged an autumnal shoot very promptly, while the weather was warm and all the leaves were golden. The clocks had just gone back, so these sunset photos were taken at around 4pm. More photos from this...
Read MoreCambridge Ballerina Project – Glory
I first met Glory at a special ballet shoot for Varsity Fashion at the Fitzwilliam Museum – she was the only dancer in the shoot from the Cambridge University Ballet Club whom I hadn’t yet photographed for the Cambridge Ballerina Project. I bumped into her at an outdoor sunset yoga class (during the extraordinarily warm Indian Summer in October), and we arranged to...
Read MoreVancouver Ballerina Shoot with Amanda
Become a fan of the Cambridge Ballerina Project on Facebook Before my trip to Vancouver, I looked up some models for potential photoshoots while I was out there. Given I was already planning to do a shoot with my friend Cassandra, I thought why not take arrange another shoot or two and take advantage of some stunning scenery and new models. Due to uncertain weather and my plans...
Read MoreCommissioned Ballet Shoot
Lara is a fan of the Cambridge Ballerina Project on Facebook, and commissioned a shoot for herself. She used to dance ballet a while ago, and was still in good form to produce some lovely photos. More photos from this shoot...
Read MoreCambridge Ballerina Project – Helen
I’d done a Cambridge Ballerina Project shoot with Helen in the winter, where she ended up standing on snow for ages without shoes, but she agreed the resulting photos were worth it! This time, it was the end of June, with warm evenings and no more exams, when Cambridge turns into an extravagant black tie party town, so we decided on a May Ball-inspired night-time ballet...
Read MoreLocation Photoshoot with Sarah
Even though I’ve been friends with Sarah for years, since she studied and danced a lot of ballet at Cambridge, she’s not yet taken part in my Cambridge Ballerina Project, mostly because she’s busy acting and modelling in London. On a short visit to Cambridge, we had an impromptu location shoot just after a downpour. I can’t wait to finally do a proper ballet...
Read MorePhotoshoot with Izzy
Sometimes things don’t always go to plan, but I somehow seem to always get lucky when they don’t… My nearest (and very well-equipped) studio, The Works, had a not-the-royal-wedding party, with the studio open to any photographers and models who wanted to come along. I’d been in touch with two local models that I’d planned to shoot at some point, and...
Read MoreCambridge Ballerina Project – Lizzie
Lizzie had seen many of my ballet and dance photos, and as an ex-ballet dancer herself, was keen to have some dance photos taken around Cambridge before she left university for a job in London. Become a fan of the Cambridge Ballerina Project on Facebook (http://facebook.com/camballet), where you can see more photos from this shoot. The full set of photos, including varied...
Read MoreCambridge Ballerina Project – Zoe
The second of my ballet photoshoots with Zoe, where she managed to impress me even more than she did in our first riverside shoot. This time, we headed to the Sidgwick Site, where many of the Arts and Humanities faculties of the Univeresity of Cambridge are based. This time, we got the best of the evening sun, and the location had plenty of striking architecture to contrast with...
Read MoreCambridge Ballerina Project – Zoe
I met Zoe during Inspired, the ADC contemporary dance show, in January. She danced a duet with her older sister, but I wasn’t able to get many photos of their piece, as my piece followed theirs. During Zoe’s backstage warm-up, I noticed that she was a very talented ballet dancer – with obvious potential for a great Cambridge Ballerina Project photoshoot. Needless...
