1950's Themed shoot

Along with model Viva La Frankie who specialises in vintage styles,I found a unique venue for a charity calendar shoot.  A home that had been converted into a realistic American 50's diner,with jukebox and coca cola machine ,pool table and retro tiled floor. Frankie brought a variety of vintage outfits along with hair and styled make up to create the mood!

A few photos are reproduced here,all in all a great photoshoot. See more on our Facebook page,and click like to be updated of future posts.

Autumn fashion shoot

Had an idea to do a Autumn themed photoshoot at a beach ,wearing fashionable wooly jumpers and such, I recruited Claire Louise a model I've worked with twice previously. I chose Formby beach in Mereyside for it's clean sand dunes and it has a boardwalk that leads to the beach too. Still plenty of dog walkers around,so wasnt as private as I wanted(we did some implied topless shots in the seclusion of  a dune!),as always you get curious looks from passers by but we got some great results.

Please be sure to check out our Facebook page for up to date info on shoots.

Summer shoots

Two fashion shoots on location photographed recently, as Summer has arrived it seemed a good time to get out and do some shoots. First off with Claire Asher,at Trentham Gardens in Stoke On Trent a beautiful landscaped garden with ruins of an old hall a huge lake and fountains. On what proceeded to be hottest day of the year it was a hard battle to shoot in bright sunlight with no cloud cover! The theme was slightly Bohemian and Summery so was the weather for it!

New Year New shoot

First shot of the New Year for me,in between days of snow with the delightful Claire-Louise.
We hired a country hotel in Sheffield: Whitley Hall for a lingerie themed shoot, working with strobe lights in small spaces is always a challenge but makes the shoot fun! We shot varied ideas from plain lingerie to an idea involving her laid under bed covers,as seen below;which is my favourite image from the model shoot.

More fashion at Hippodrome

Another trip to Hulme Hippodrome Manchester for a fashion shoot, this time with model India Charlotte.Some portraits shown here,others are available on the website and Flickr page.

A Day at at the Seaside

A model shoot with Grace Harvey recently in Blackpool, around a fairground theme shooting on the North and Central Pier. Pictures below. battling with harsh sunlight and crowds but we got some great shots.

Theatrical model shoot

Having found a really cool old venue in Manchester-The Hipperdrome in Hulme an 1800's built theatre which is in dire need of restoration; the man in charge Tony Wright very kindly allowed me and model Portia to do a shoot there.It's always a challenge when using studio lights on location lack of space, lack of power points but I think I pulled it off on this shoot.The idea was to bring out some of the theatre's wonderful decor,as a backdrop for the model. Particularly the stained glass "Exit" doors(bottom pictures)which were an important feature of the building for this photoshoot.Portia gave some good poses,and I tried some unusual angles to try and get as much of the doors into the photos.

Kick Ass

An unusual model shoot this weekend, the girl who came down for a  model fashion shoot  was a part time Thai Boxer!! Or Kick boxer in general terms, although she is a sweet and friendly girl and hard to picture her kicking hell out of someone!
 I tried some different style of shots and processing on the final shots,see what you think.

We did a few shots of Lauren wearing her Kick boxing attire too, dangerous girl! :)
