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...

Guen & Greg

Guen & Greg

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...

Derelict Fashion

Derelict Fashion

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...

Snow Photoshoot with Jenny

Snow Photoshoot with Jenny

Inspired by my last photoshoot in the snow (and at 3000m altitude!), I wanted to take some more photos in the snow that the UK has recently been covered in. A quick email later, and one of my previous muses, Jenny, was standing in the snow braving the cold, all for the sake of creating great photos. The resulting favourites show that it was worth...

Photoshoot with Laura

Photoshoot with Laura

I’d taken acting headshots for Laura back in May, and we met up again to get some fashion photos. This shoot included a couple of things that I’d wanted to do for a while: photograph a model wearing satin/silk; reliably use two flash/umbrellas (wireless triggers just haven’t been reliable enough to date); use coloured gels to light up a black backdrop, providing...

Photoshoot with Beth

Photoshoot with Beth

At Oi Va Voi’s recent gig at the Cambridge Junction, I noticed someone at the front of the audience (well, I couldn’t help but notice her, I kept passing her as I moved around taking photos of the band). I was taken by her striking figure (slim and 5′ 11”), English Rose looks, all juxtaposed with her large, but elegant, shoulder tattoo. We spoke afterwards,...
