A well-published model asked to do a photoshoot with me, so I arranged the hire of a local art gallery/studio to shoot in, as well as the great make-up artist (Emma Knight) whom I met at the Derelict Fashion photoshoot. Unfortunately, the model cancelled two days before the shoot, so I had to find some fill in models at short notice. As it was the middle of Cambridge’s exam term, most of my model/dancer friends were unavailable, and castings on model websites sadly didn’t come to anything, but fortunately Greg & Guen stepped in to save the day, despite Guen’s imminent exams. Greg was planning on taking some photos too, but has modelled for me before, and was just being fitted with a designer suit that day, so served as perfect model material.

The photographer who introduced me to off-camera studio lighting, Alex Beckett, organised a group shoot at a derelict RAF base. There were about 40 people involved in total, including amateur and experienced photographers, make-up artists, and models/musicians/dancers. As I’d had a shoot cancelled that weekend, I decided to take part, and brought along a handful of dancer friends, who happen to also be excellent models. I’ve done a couple of shoots with Jenny already, but this was Emily’s first shoot, and she definitely exceeded the potential that I saw in her.
