A gothic portfolio

Regular blog followers may find Sue’s face familiar and to put you out of your misery and prevent hours of head scratching, Sue was a bride that I shot earlier in the year when she and Paul were married at Holmfield Arms, Wakefield.  When I first met Sue at a wedding fayre I had a sense that she was possibly a goth, though she wasn’t wearing the corsets and long dress at the time, but those of you that know me know that I’ve an eye for the goths and an ear for symphonic gothic metal (as well as death, doom and dark Satanic metal ha ha!). Anyway, my dreams of shooting a goth wedding weren’t realised as Sue turned up to the wedding in a beautiful girly white dress with not an ounce of dark crushed velvet anywhere –  just a hint of purple embroidery. So, it was inevitable that I was going to get Sue into the studio or on location  in all her gothic finery and today was the day. I would have prefered a location shoot but the weather was grim, so instead we opted for a studio shoot and these are a few of the images we came up with. We will sneak a location shoot in later in the year when Sue finishes her training to be an RAF nurse.

Thik ‘n’ Thin comedy duo publicty shoot

Al and Dave aka “Thik  ‘n’ Thin” were in the studio today to update their publicity shots both as a duo and as individuals. The session began with a run through of Dave’s stage characters before moving on to some individual headshots of Al, who also performs as a solo artist, and ending up shooting them as a double act. Dave’s antics kept us entertained throughout the shoot and his gurning and jocular manner gave way to a more artistic side once he had his guitar in hand and I glimpsed snatches of a virtuoso on the electric guitar! To catch up with the guys on stage, visit the Thik n Thin website for details.

If you are an entertainer, actor or performer looking for publicity shots, call me on 01924 229800 to discuss your requirements or book in for a shoot, either on location or in the studio.

Ashleigh’s fashion shoot

The third shoot of the day! This time Ashleigh was in for a fashion shoot and I don’t think I’ve ever photographed anyone more perfectly suited to fashion modelling! I have honestly never seen limbs so long in my life :¬o I noticed Ashleigh while I was on a commercial shoot earlier in the year and suggested she came over for a test shoot. Its taken ages to organise due to a busy workload of mine but we squeezed a shoot in for a couple of hours late on today. With a bit of coaching from an experienced model, I think Ashleigh has the potential to go far: when you see her on “Britain’s next top model”, remember you saw her here first! Lots of images to go through yet but this is a sneak preview just to give a flavour of what we did.

Family photoshoot for Claire

As Sarah left the studio, Claire arrived with her daughter Chloe, sister Cath and young niece Gracie who had learned to sit up just 4 days previously! The shoot went well with Gracie putting up with it for a good hour before deciding to call it a day :¬) However, I think we managed a shot with every combination possible in the time we had. I’m sure we snagged some great Christmas pressies in the end :¬)

To book your family photo shoot call 01924 229800 or visit the website for details. Family snaps make a great gift idea for Christmas.

Sarah’s fashion portfolio shoot (Part 1)

Sarah’s booked for a fashion portfolio shoot and she’s fancying some studio work and also some location work to make up the complete package. As I already had a couple of shoots booked in for today, I decided to squeeze Sarah in first thing to shoot the studio stuff. We had a great time and, though a little nervous at first, Sarah soon got into the swing of it. We shot mostly standard infinity curve sets, with a few white wall shots thrown in for good measure, before moving outside to make the most of the ever reddening autumn leaves on the vine at the back of the studio. Here, the soft autumn light acted like a giant softbox and I gave it a slight kick with the 6’x4′ California sunbounce. Part two of the shoot will be on location in some stables and will probably be next Saturday. Watch out for those images but here are a few from today. Enjoy!

Sophie-Nicole’s lingerie shoot

Sophie-Nicole dropped by for a lingerie shoot today and we shot some awesome images for her portfolio. Sophie describes herself as being of mixed heritage “half Indian, quarter Kittitian and quarter Dominican” and her dark skin and big eyes made it easy for us to get some cool shots with some very simple lighting, mostly modified with a 30″ softlighter. As it was a really nice autumn day with plenty of sunshine, we headed out back of the studio to shoot against the vines that are really starting to feel the colder nights causing the leaves to turn a rich red – a perfect backdrop to Sophie’s black and white number.

If you’d like a portfolio shoot like Sophie’s, just call the studio on 01924 229800 or visit the website for more details.
