Woodland Shoot with Mccolie and Mark

This will be quite a short post. It's also quite a big throwback to a woodland shoot I did with Mccolie Webber and MBJ Photography a few years ago. I was really assisting Mark who was shooting Mccolie in the woods. I also gave her a lift to the location as Mark rides a motorbike. This was quite a fun, short shoot and I managed to snap a few photos of my own and thought I'd post my favorites here. 

I'll try to do a longer post for next week; hopefully, I'll be able to get some more editing done now that my parents are going back to work this week. Wish me luck!

Scouting Abandoned Buildings

I haven't been shooting since the lockdown started and I'm really starting to miss it. Now the lockdown rules are being loosened I'm starting to plan some portrait shoots to get back into the game. But since the schools are reopening this week, I think I will leave it for at least another week or two to see how it goes, before I plan anything concrete. 

My photographer friend, Rebecca, is looking for a derelict location for a video shoot she is planning so we met up and went exploring, with her little sister Abby tagging along. We spent about an hour on Thursday evening last week exploring this Second World War supply depot, just outside East Boldon. 

It's a really interesting location with a large, gutted warehouse, a smaller warehouse behind it, a small corrugated metal warehouse, several half-standing brick houses and several overgrown concrete bunkers. Almost all of it is covered in graffiti and overgrown and it's only used by local teenagers and BB clubs. I've known about the location for a few years and used it for a smoke bombs shoot. I'd love to try and use it for another smoke bomb or alternative fashion shoot.

I really enjoyed catching up with Rebecca and taking these photos while exploring the buildings, really made me realize how much I miss photography and I can't wait to arrange some proper shoots in a couple of weeks.
