Aasiya Azeemali – First Shoot

in

Aasiya is a new model to me who contacted me through Instagram. A point to add here is that she is the first model to contact me through this platform that was an actual human and not a BOT created by a computer or a scammer in anyway, which makes a refreshing change on top of which she was lovely. She arranged to meet up with me and brought her Mum with her and we went out shooting in a few locations in town. Aasiya is a Muslim model and a hijab wearer, which was another first for me and we got some great pictures together.

I have asked if Aasiya would like to be my first model back in a February shoot next year at The Boardroom Studio on Derby with Shadrine my makeup artist from Kavour Beauty? She has agreed, so all looks good to go on that front.

I hope you enjoy our work together?

A selection of picture from a model doing her second shoot with me, the first being the Pantone Colour of the year shoot Summer. So welcome back Moyondafoluwa (or Moyolistic as she is often known). A big shout out to her and Shadrine from Kavour Beauty for the hair and makeup, as well as a firm thanks again to Phil Lynam at The Boardroom Studio in Derby for all his help.

Model Fashion Shoot introducing New Model 'Moyolistic'

in

The second shoot of the month took place in The Boardroom studio in Derby with another new model calling herself Moyolistic. She was the runner up in an African Beauty contest and was amazing in front of the camera. The shoot was set into two half's with the first half being a more ethereal look with a wedding vail and peonies provided by my friend Chris at Flowers To Yours. Colour graded blue in Capture One and Photoshop the set is titled 'Délicate,' and has its own sideshow to compliment it.

The second part of the shoot was based around the Panton Colour of the Year which is Yellow, so all things yellow were in employ. The original pictures were a lot darker, but I warmed it up in editing to gain a pleasing result. Thanks then to model Moyolistic for being great. Thanks also to Shadrine at Ka'Vour Beauty for her amazing makeup as always and to studio owner Phil for the use of his pad. Enjoy the results.


Nuria Do Prado Real Shoot

This is a kind of once more around the block shoot with my old and dear friend Nuria Do Prado Real. She still looks as lovely as ever and it was fun to work with her once again. Thank you also to Shadrine at Ka’Vour Beauty and Phil at The Boardroom Studio, Derby. See you all in the new year I hope?

Tanya Model Shoot

in

We have not seen Tanya (who eagle eyed views may recognise her by her other names?) for a long while, but it was good to see her modelling again … if only briefly. You looked great Tanya x

Thanks once again to the model, and to all who helped create these images.
