So as promised a few weeks ago, here are some more images from my shoot with Kirsty. Believe it or not, I am still going through the images, so many good ones to chose from…..There will be more….
A change from the norm ….part two
Well a bit later than i anticipated, but here are a few more images of my location shoot with Kirsty.
She was awesome to work with, and I still have more images to go through….football getting in the way at the moment.
A change from the norm….Part One
Over the weekend I did a location shoot with a local model, Kirsty.
By day she is a personal trainer and is very much into the female body build, going to the gym six days a week, where she finds the time from I do not know. However, this shoot was not a body build shoot, the idea and purpose behind this shoot was to show her feminine side, it only became apparent to me of her physical prowess during the shoot whilst in conversation with her.
She was very understanding, the day of the shoot was on the cool side and she was wearing summer clothes, I had requested them…so my fault, but she was very professional and did not raise any issues during the shoot.
The shoot lasted about 80 minutes in which time i managed to take over 200 images, OK so some will be destined to the delete button, but a high percentage will not, to say that she was great to work with, would be very much understating the fact, she was BRILLIANT….
I managed to get so many good images with Kirsty, that i will post them over up coming blogs, maybe three, maybe four…just keep watching….So here are a few of the first….
An evening with Bethany
In the first week of the new year I did a photo shoot with a new model, Bethany. Not worked with her before so it was nice to meet somebody new. As with all the models that i have worked with over the years, female and male, she was great to work with, understood the image that I was trying to achieve.
Throughout the session she never complained once, even when we ventured into the building away from the warmth if the studio, it was cold……..As other shoots in the same venue, the goods lift was used, not quite frosty in there, but with all the metal, and the clothes she was wearing, cold….not a question it was a fact.
We a few changes of outfits she gave three different looks, from a very sophisticated look to grunge, it appeared to be all so easy for her, she did it with such grace.
The evening was a great success so a big thanks to Bethany, she was an absolute star to work with.
More of Marra
As stated in previous posts, I seem to find little time to do the editing, finally got around do doing some more of the shoot with Marra back in September 2017.
There are still some more to do, as well as images from other shoots.
Now where did I put the keys to the time machine……..
Shawna, it continues
As stated way back when, some more images from the shoot with Shawna at the Strangetown Studio in Birmingham.
St
ill a few more to go….
An afternoon in Birmingham
Just a few weeks ago I was at the media launch of the new Birmingham Conservatoire, now the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
This is the new home of the music school of Birmingham City University, the old one being demolished as part of the Paradise Circus rejuvenation works.
Living my DSLR at home, I used my mobile phone for the afternoon, easy to carry and less intrusive.
The Conservatoire consists of one main concert hall, one purpose built Jazz space, a recital hall, organ room and a project space, in addition to countless rehearsal and practice rooms scattered around the building.
The interior of the building is impressive and is a high standard, this is just the first class facility that the city needs. Looking forward to seeing it well used, and visiting myself as a customer, looking forward to watching some Jazz, and sampling their new beer.
An evening with Marra
So another post from me. Continuing the thread of my last two posts, here are some more portrait shot of local model Marra. These were all taken in the studio some using  using a single soft box on her right and a white board on the right to bounce back the light.
And before anybody asks/send abusive mail etc. the coat was faux fur. There are still some more images to process, still find it difficult to put time aside for editing. Think a time management session is needed, or more hours in the day…
An evening with Jason
So if you recall my last blog of an evening spent with Shawna, well during the same evening I was also fortunate to be able to take pictures of local model/actor Jason Seagade.
The studio remained unused for the shoot, instead the corridors and lifts in the building were use, along with a replica fire arm. Jason was superb and was able to bring to the shot a lot more than normal models were able to to. This was very clearly one of his attributes as an actor. He really jumped into and embraced his role, and hopefully from the few images attached you will agree.
The images were all processed using Lightroom, and then converted to Black and White using Silver Efex.
I did consider keeping some them as colour, but with the look and feel of the building, Black and White was the only way to go, enjoy.
An evening in Strangetown………
On Monday night I attended the opening night of a new studio in Birmingham. Housed in the old Telsen Radio building, Strangetown ( a Jam track) offers some very atmospheric locations from goods lift that come complete with grunge effect, staircases and industrial areas.
The resident model, Lady-Emilie Walt was lined up a few hours passed both in the studio and locations through the building.
Below are just a few images of Emilie from the night. Look forward to doing more shoots there in the future.
