Eva Mengling Pu First Shoot

in

I wanted to work with someone new to me and was approached by oriental model Eva Mengling Pu to do a shoot together. She travelled a long way to attend the shoot, so only thought it fair to put her up in a hotel for the night. So come the shoot day, she was full of life and eager to get involved with the day in front. Eva was great and a pleasure to work with. Getting some almost Halloween ish sets done, although that was not the original aim of the set. There are as well as some Art Deco inspired theme shoots. Thanks then to all involved with the shoot. To Shadrine at Kavour Beauty for all the hair and beauty. To Phil Lynam and his studio at at The Boardroom Studio in Derby. And to Amy for her help and sourcing the materials. Thank you all.

Model Gallery for Lydia Clifford's Second Shoot

in

Here was a shoot date with Zoe Birtwhistle in mind, sadly she was not ready with her hats that she was to model in so we have had to postpone till a later date. But not all was lost. The amazing Lydia Clifford stepped in to take the strain and so we did our four hour session with her. We have worked with Lydia before so I knew I could trust her. Her work ethic is a good one as is her time keeping and shear knowledge of her job. True to form she was brilliant and here are the results. One of the costumes was an orange pair of trousers with an orange t-shirt with the words 'RIOT' across her chest. She is also holding a bull horn as well for effect. Another look is based on an old picture I saw in a Hollywood magazine of actress and dancer Ann Margret wearing a black roll neck jumper and black tights. It was a fashion look that I thought was hood and have wanted to shoot in that style for a long time. Finally doing it with Lydia.

So thank you then to our model Lydia Clifford. Our makeup artist Shadrine at Kavour Beauty. Phil Lynam at The Boardroom Studio in Derby and my dear wife Amy for all their hard work.

Monalisa Moyo – On Location #2 Shoot

in

It was lovely to see and work with my old friend and longest serving model Monalisa Moyo again. These images were taken on location again on what was her 30th Birthday (I first worked with Monalisa when she was nineteen!!) We have not seen Monalisa since she kick started the year for me with a January shoot in my grotty bathroom if you can all remember? So here she is on the suspension bridge and against the pink wall. I would like to tell you they were taken in an exotic country, but the reality is they were in somewhere not quite so glamorous and around the corner from me. Still they turned out nice and Monalisa looked great in her kaftan and blue dress.

Fern Thompson – Nottingham Train Station Shoot

in

Fern was great to work with and a true professional. Pregnant at the time of shooting, she turned up on time and was great. We did have an accident with the ballet boots when the heels dropped of, but that was more to do with the cheep and nasty way they were made than to Ferns moves on set. Like Monalisa, she found it near impossible to stand up let alone walk in them, but they make a great picture.

So thanks to Fern for all her hard work and hope to see you again in the New Year.


Supple Suki – Fashion Shoot

in

This last month we had the great pleasure of working with a new model to me who goes by the name 'Supple Suki' and she is everything it says on the tin. She normally teaches acrobatic pole dancing and can get into any position you choose, within limits. She was also great fun to be with.

Suki contacted me through a website regarding a posting of work that I put up, but was a little bit too late. Still she impressed me enough to follow her up and give her a shoot on her own.

Thanks then to all involved. To Suki for modelling. To Phil Lynam at the Boardroom Studio in Derby. To Shadrine at Kavour Beauty for her hair and makeup and to Amy for all her help and food stuff.

Come the new year, I hope to shoot again with this flexible and charming model.


Tasha Lawer Model Shoot

in

A couple of months ago I made contact with a brilliant Derby model, Natasha Lawer who was going to stand in for Monalisa Moyo if she could not make our last shoot in the St. James Hotel. Well in the end she did not have to, but I appreciated her support and promised her a shoot of her own at The Boardroom Studio in Derby. I am pleased to be able to show you the pictures from the shoot and was amazed at this versatile model. Easy to get along and work with, her body moves were amazing and put to full use. So she was awesome and I would like her to do another shoot with me next year if she can. Thanks to Natasha for her poses, to Phil Lynam for his help at the studio and to Amy for making me some props to go in the models hair.

Avant-Garde and Portrait Shoot with Tyler Dyce

in

Welcome to the first studio shoot of the year starting off with model for all seasons, Tyler Dyce. This was an Avant-Garde themed shoot which for the most part worked, that was until one of the lights blow up. We had to go back to a mixture of natural light and fresnel for a portrait session. Tyler was brilliant as always and brought her boyfriend along to the shoot which was great as he turned out very helpful on set as well as being a genuinly nice guy. So thanks to model Tyler Dyce. To makeup artist Karen Hegarty MUA. To Angelo and to Lee Henshaw for his studio. A special thanks also to my wife Amy for her little fashion creation she made for Tyler. I really appreciate that. Thanks and love x
