Cambridge Dancers’ Club

Cambridge Dancers’ Club

One of the reasons that I photograph a lot of dance, is that I’m also passionate about dancing myself. Thanks to the breadth of opportunity and classes available in Cambridge, I’ve worked my way through Ballroom, Latin, Offbeat, Salsa, Acrobatic Rock’n'Roll, and Contemporary dance. Most of these styles are offered by Cambridge Dancers’ Club (CDC), which was,...

Photoshoot with Amie

Photoshoot with Amie

I’d been planning on attending a photoshoot with 4 models up North at the weekend, but had several other events taking place on the same day, so couldn’t go. Fortunately one of the models, Amie, was available at a studio not too far away, so I arranged a 2 hour shoot with her. I normally prefer a minimum of 3-4 hours for a shoot, to work through as many ideas, lighting...

Studio Portraits with Holly

Studio Portraits with Holly

I photographed Holly back in February, and as she was visiting Cambridge this month, we arranged a couple of hours’ shooting together. We’d planned to use a local studio, and then shoot in some nearby woods, though the recent sunny weather ended the morning of our shoot, so we’ll hopefully get together again for the location shoot later this...

Indoor Photoshoot with Ellie

Indoor Photoshoot with Ellie

After two gorgeous photoshoots with Ellie, I couldn’t wait to photograph her again, and there were still some outfits we hadn’t got round to photographing, so we arranged another shoot. I’ve just upgraded to Lightroom 3, and although it still seems buggy (i.e. MUCH slower than Lightroom 2), it does have better vignetting features, and some new processing presets,...

Photoshoot with Ellie

Photoshoot with Ellie

I was so impressed with Ellie’s ballerina photoshoot last week, that I arranged an outdoor model photoshoot with her the following week. Many people ask her if she’s Lily Cole, and she also reminds me of several other celebrities (Debra Messing, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried). Ellie suffered over 30 midge bites during the shoot (which I apologised for!), but so many of...

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Sandy

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Sandy

The fifth photoshoot of the Cambridge Ballerina Project. I’ve photographed Sandy in many contemporary dance shows over the last few years, and with her background in ballet as well as contemporary, she was always one of my top choices for a dance photoshoot, especially after one my photos of her graced the cover of a Cambridge magazine. I always prefer shooting at Magic Hour...

Model Portfolio Shoot for Emily

Model Portfolio Shoot for Emily

After the Derelict Fashion photoshoot, Emily has become interested in modelling, and was asked by an agency to put together a portfolio. As she trusted and knew me already, she asked if I could help her come up with more photos for her portfolio, in addition to the great fashion shots from the recent derelict shoot. Being short on time, clothing choices, and suitable locations,...

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Ellie & Emily

The fourth photoshoot of the Cambridge Ballerina Project, in Emmanuel College. Emily was one of the principal dancers in the recent CU Ballet Show “Sleeping Beauty”. Ellie is a friend of Jenny’s (whom I’d photographed in a previous Cambridge Ballerina Project photoshoot), and although I was apprehensive before the shoot, having no idea how photogenic or...

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Chantelle

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Chantelle

The third photoshoot of the Cambridge Ballerina Project, in St. John’s College, and The Backs. Chantelle was one of the principal dancers in the recent CU Ballet Show “Sleeping Beauty”. She has trained professionally, and has done several ballet photoshoots in the past. I felt bad that Chantelle’s beautiful white pointe shoes got slightly damaged and dirty...

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Jenny, Natalie, Hanna

The second photoshoot of the Cambridge Ballerina Project, in Jesus College. The main model here was Jenny, one of the dancers I spotted in the recent CU Ballet Show “Sleeping Beauty”. I noticed her potential, even though she wasn’t one of the prominent dancers in the show, and she certainly exceeded my expectations. More photos from this shoot can be viewed at...
