Boudoir shoot

Hired a Manchester stylish apartment last week for a lingerie boudoir style model shoot,using mainly daylight. With the delightful EloraB from Model Mayhem.

We were hoping to achieve a wistful relaxed editorial style photo shoot in the bedroom shots, whilst still being sexy. The bathroom shot above was playful glamour shot. Hope the apartment cleaners didnt mind all the lipstick on the mirror.

Beckiimay

For this photo shoot with Model Mayhem model Beckiimay the idea was a clash of ideas.On one hand we had a glamour style shoot(red lipstick,partial nudity)then the religious iconic theme of a crown of thorns,handmade by Liv Free also a model as well as making accesories.
You can see the headpiece here,it was real and sharp! Care was taken not to press it down too far onto Beckii's head! Using the red lipstick I wrote on her arms ,in mock self harm imagery but also it obviously being lipstick lent itself to glamour angle.Other shots on the website eventually-will show the words "repent" and "Sacrifice" on her left arm.
For this shot below, which was inspired partly by fashion photographer Miranda Kerr and partly by scenes in horror film Jacob's Ladder where strange faces blurred as they thrashed around. It took numerous attempts using motion blur flash technique,having Beckii move her head during exposure. A little post processing to give it an ethereal look and maybe it was something near my vision.
More shots will be featured on my Fashion photography website soon(at time of writing this anyway!) anyone wishing to have a portfolio photoshoot get in touch via the site above. Thanks.

Lisa.

New Year first new photo shoot. Obligatory Model Mayhem model Lisa Giselle. The theme was glamour, FHM NUTS style. Lisa was lots of fun and had arranged a MUA too, which was something new to me!
I generally do some fashion shots on every shoot,but as Lisa hadnt brought much in the way of clothes(one dress!)so it was underwear and sexy topless all the way! Some shots here,more will be added to model portfolio soon.


Technical details are very simple,two lights in shoot through umbrellas at either side of Lisa. If you like these shots and would like a shoot,contact me at www.hairflicksmodelphotography.co.uk

Zara Abigail

Gorgeous redhead Zara Abigail had a model shoot with me recently,with a mass of red curls which came in handy on some shots. Abigail was classic fashion model size, slim and tall ,and we rattled through a two and a half hour shoot on a  high fashion theme. Later that day she came second in a national beauty contest too, so a job well done.See more shots of Zara in the fashion photography gallery

Victorian theatre shoot

Obtained permission from Leeds Grand Theatre for a model shoot  .I liked the Victorian archeitecture and wanted a mdoel to compliment this. So recruited Model Mayhem member Necromantis(Law)and managed to negotiate narrow aisles and position lighting at the same time. Stage hands were busy setting up for the night's show and came in handy for a mains extension!
The idea was to keep ambient light of the hall with some fill in flash to light Lauren. Time was limited and not all shots worked as hoped, but got some images as seen below I think came out well. Check out more model shoots on the site thanks.
Up in the"Gods" for this next shot, I was juggling lights and tripod whilst trying not to fall off the balcony!

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! :)
