Munira Model Third Shoot

Coming close to the end of the month for a shoot we were blessed to have lovely Indian model Munira in the studio with us. This is our third shoot together and was based on inspiration from the Paul Weller song called 'Amongst Butterflies' which I hope you have just listened to on the slide show above. The butterflies are not real of course, but they are colourful and with hair and makeup by Shadrine at Kavour Beauty they look great. Thanks then to all there that day at The Boardroom Studio in Derby.. Munira will be back again in December for a two model fashion shoot with Mercybongo. Cant wait !!!

Projects - Geoff Amos Shoot

Now heres an interesting person. Meet Geoff Amos, Geoff is a retiree, a magician, ex-DJ, male character model and all round great person to work with. Geoff was highlighted to me by the owner of the studio I use as a possible shoot candidate so I got in touch and he agreed. Geoff has often been cast as characters like Fagin, Jack the Ripper, chimney sweeps (think Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins). So we did a bit of the victorian look with his many props as well as a more modern take, with Geoff slicked back hair and fags. We wanted to give him a menacing old school gangster look and he did it perfectly. The photographs were done jointly between Tyler Dyce and myself (Tyler’s pictures are the the ones without borders) Tyler and I both think Geoff was amazing and can not wait to get him back in the new year. One more thing. I have placed his pictures in the ‘Projects’ folder as they are not really fashion pieces. Please enjoy and thanks to Geoff Amos, Tyler Dyce, Tari Klopp and studio owner Lee Henshaw.
