Meeting Lizzie

I met Lizzie Faith the other day and we had a drink and a lovely chat about planning some shoots before we had a wonder around the town and I took a few snaps of her. It was lovely meeting her and I'm really looking forward to planning some of the shoots we discussed. Fingers crossed we'll get them all sorted soon.

Arran at the Scrapyard

Afternoon everyone. I've been having a bit of a quiet week lately so thought I'd post a few photos from my latest shoot with Arran in a scrapyard in a train museum in Gateshead. This was quite a quick shoot just to get a feel of the location with a model and we had to cut it a bit short due to the weather. I really liked the colours and textures of the rusty machinery there and was quite proud of some of the photos we took there so I thought I'd post a few of my favourites here. Enjoy.

Latex and Airplanes

Now this is rather a big post but because it's for one of my biggest, most nerve racking and arguably one of my best shoots to date.

Mademoiselle Boo asked me to shoot her in some of Ivy Stream's products; a plum and cream harness with tassels and matching thong. I'd shot Boo the previous year modelling some lingerie and a feather head-dress in the middle of a forest so modelling some purple latex was a small step up. We were also very lucky to get permission to shoot in an aircraft museum. The outside of one of the hangers became our rusty blue background, the inside of the hanger door became our darker background and the wing of a 50's fighter jet was leaned, stood and sat on by Boo towards the end of the shoot.

I was only using a Nikon D7200 with a 50mm lens and a studio light fitted with a softbox triggered by synced remotes but it seemed to do the trick and I'd like to use the setup more frequently when I get access to the kit again. 

I'm now wondering about what to shoot next; more of Boo in interesting locations and even more interesting outfits or to borrow some more of Ivy's latex? Suppose I'll have to try a bit of both and see what happens. 

But in the mean time, check out Boo's new website: www.mademoiselleboo.co.uk

Coffee with Macara

 I've known Macara for a few years now and most of the time we've known each other has been consisted of me taking photos of her whenever I got the chance. But since she left college and has now moved to Durham we haven't seen as much of each other as we used to. So when we met for a coffee the other week I was determined to take advantage of the opportunity and take a few snaps of her over a latte. Enjoy.
