Model Shoots

Mercybongo – Third Shoot with Carl Tilson

in

This is Mercybongo's second shoot this year with us and there are still two more to come before the year is out. However, this shoot was based on the video of 'Shock the monkey,' by Peter Gabriel complete with tribal makeup and match suits for both her and her partner Carl. The idea was to make both models look androgynous in white clothing and white background. I have actually used the alternative blue versions here as I think they look better. Thanks then to Mercybongo and Carl for their input and assistance. To Shadrine, at Kavour Beauty for here great makeup. To Phil Lynam at the boardroom studio for his help and of course Amy for being there.

Marie Jean Saxton – Third Shoot

in

Welcoming back the lovely Marie Jean Saxton for this unplanned two hour shoot at the Boardroom Studio in Derby this month. Most of the images were deliberately blurred and for another web site, but there was enough clear (normal ones) to go to print here on my site. It was lovely to work with Marie again in this simple stripped down, no thrills shoot.

Iyisha Rose - First Shoot

in

This month I was / had planned to do an improve shoot with Marie Jean Saxton at the Boardroom Studio in Derby. Sadly she was not all with it and gave her apologies that she could not make it on the day. A professional model (take note Kay Carter!) we had enough time to find a replacement model. It was only a two hour shoot with no makeup artist. Just the model, Amy and myself. With the valuable help from studio owner Phil Lynam he saved the day and pushed the lovely Iyisha Rose our way. She was brilliant. Such a great natural woman who looked great in front of the camera. The theme of the shoot was really to test out a few looks with different lens filters so most if not all the pictures are blurred. By design rather than an accident. The filters used were a UV filter smeared in vasoline. Another filter used was a Tiffen Black Pro Mist ¼ and a Lensbaby Velvet 28 Lens, all to good effect. Also in the galley are some oddly coloured images that were taken using an old digital camera, chipped to do only Infared shots. The results are odd. This might be best used on landscape.

I would love to work again with this great model and give her the full works, the four hour shoot special complete with Shadrine the makeup artist. So watch this space and thank you to all involved in this shoot.

Nicolie Campbell Tribal Shoot Specials

in

Here are just a few extra special to wet your appetite from our shoot with boxer Nicolie Campbell on the Tribal set.

Nicolie Campbell Tribal Shoot

in

This was all the brain child of my friend, athlete and champion boxer Nicolie Campbell. He asked if we could manage to do a tribal shoot. So I thought about it, asked what Shadrine thought (she literally jumped at me with excitement!) and so put the wheels in motion. The makeup was all done by Shadrine with great skill and the spear was a genuine African spear from Ebay. I think it went well and love the results. What do you think? So thanks then to Nicolie, to Shadrine. To Phil at the studio and Amy for her help on the day.

Asian model Supple Suki second look in a two girl shoot with Yoo Yoo this time.. Solo Images

in

It is always good to see Suki back in the studio and has she got some moves. This is her second shoot with me and the team at the Boardroom Studio, but this time we twinned her up with a second Asian model Yoo Yoo. She is a popular model with fitting in shoots and acrobatics around the pole. So we are really lucky to get her. Certain times of the year she is away working abroad, teaching her moves to other acrobatic nimble student. And its just nice to see her again. She is so sweet and came up to me after the shoot and said what an honour it was working together again. Nearly made me cry! I was quite touched. So enjoy her solo images.

Both Suki and Yoo Yoo together for this segment of the shoot. Thankfully we had a time when both models crossed over while having their makeup done by Shadrine, so were able to feature together. I really do believe they compliment each other and look good. I am thinking strongly about getting them back together again later in the year for another double shoot again.

Yoo Yoo came all the way up from London to do this shoot with me at the studio and I am glad she did. She first contacted me through a model/photographers web site asking about bookings and possible shoot. A native of China, she was great and really worked well with Suki, but these are her solo images. Thanks then to Yoo Yoo for coming all that way, I hope it was worth it and look forward to a second shoot sometime in Autumn time.


Aasiya Azeemali Second Shoot.- Specials

in

Just a few special images that have had the extra frequency separation Photoshop process done on them and a slightly different colouring palette to finish them off.

Aasiya Azeemali Second Shoot

in

First shoot back in the studio after the new year break and a chance to do some serious portrait stuff with Aasiya Azeemali again. I had promised her a second shoot, with it a full makeup job as well. The lovely Aasiya has such a beautiful smooth completion it is hard to put a foot wrong and instead of seeing a hijab wearing model as a problem to photograph, but rather a challenge. Makeup was provided by Shadrine at Kavour Beauty and studio / lighting by Phil Lynam at The Boardroom Studio in Derby. Amy was on hand as always to help me. Big thanks to all involved on that day.
