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

*NEW* To Flower Updates - Pinhole Lens Images.

in

Late last year I obtained through crowd funding a pinhole lens to fit my Nikon camera. Its a specialist lens which you would not use every day, but good to use on subjects like flowers. So with this in mind I am adding onto the Flower Updates these new Pinlens pictures. Similar to the Holga Lens, everything is blurred, but can be very interesting. I am at some point going to try it out on a model, but thats for a later date. Please enjoy these.

February Flower Update

in

This is it for another month. Here are all the flower images for February. Viewers may have noticed that everything is done in fours. Unlike before when I would go to the flower shop each week to get new plants, I now only go once a month and get four flowers. Even if its a five week month, I limit it to four. It saves time and energy, and looks even numerically…... So now you know !

Lee Henshaw - Portfolio Shoot

in

My good friend and owner of Bodyline Studio, Mr. Lee Henshaw, wants to get back into modelling as a sideline, and this time fashion and commercial. So he asked me if I could help him by taken a few snaps. So that is what I did. Some taken on location and others in his studio. I think he still has the look at forty six. Good luck Lee, hope you get a second chance mate?

Is it just me or has this year flown by?

It did not seem all that long ago when I was pondering just what I would do with the rest of the year. I set myself some goals in January, and many of which I never achieved, but I still had fun trying. A few people I know did not make it through the year sadly and some so tragically young. But there is always another day so we go on and on until our days run out. To come in the new year is more shoots with Tyler Dyce and more with other great models like Christine Cain. I would also like to see the return of my old friend Monalisa Moyo. I miss her being around. Thank you to everyone for helping me this year with a special mention to my wife Amy for her behind the scenes help, advice and sandwiches. See you all in January …

Tyler Dyce - Chinese styled fashion shoot, December 2019

No shoot would be complete without Tyler Dyce making a show. Here we have a Oriental themed shoot taken in the studio and then some colour grading in photoshop. Tyler was amazing as she always is and a brilliant model to work with. There will be more (much more) for her in 2020. So thanks here to Tyler and Christine Cain for modelling. To Karen Hegarty MUA for her hair and makeup. To Stef Edwards for his much needed help. And to Lee Henshaw for his studio.

Thanks then to Christine and to Tyler Dyce for modelling. To Karen Hegarty MUA for her hair and makeup. To Stef Edwards for his help and Lee Henshaw for his studio lend.
