Bella’s Ballerinas – Valentine’s Show rehearsal

A selection of images from the Bella’s Ballerinas Valentine’s show rehearsal. I was luck enough to be able to go this show rehearsal at a studio in the City Academy London. The rehearsal room had good natural light and white walls so all the images were shot using the rooms natural light. The first half of the shoot the dancers rehearsed the dance sequences. In the second period they performed a dress rehearsal.

Maryna Sedin

Maryna Sedin is a Ukrainian model, who is based in London. When she was in my area, I arranged to work with her at my local studio. She is a tall fashion model and can create some great fashion shapes and looks. This is one set from a studio shoot with her. For me the dress and her poses stood out well for me as a fashion set of images.

Georgie – Lighting with mirrors (NSFW)

This series of images are from a studio shoot with Uk model Georgie Brown. Georgie was in the area and so we arranged to work together at Silkwood Studios. The setup was lit by using a constant light source pointing into mirrors which is then reflected back on to the background wall. For this setup I was using three stand alone mirrors. This is a cool lighting set up as you can change the light pattern shapes and shadows by moving and angling the mirrors. It also gives you two sets of shadows which is different. A works well to produce a different look in the images,

Crystal fashion fun

These images are from a studio shoot with UK model Crystal. I was in the Somerset area and had a model booked who unfortunatly then had to cancel at short notice due to illness. Fortunately the studio owner recommend I contact Crystal. She was available and as it was very short notice we didn’t have time to plan a theme for the shoot. We decided to go with a fun theme, hence the title Crystal fashion fun. The Images were all shot at Rawpics Studio

Crystal was great to work with and we had some good fun creating a range of differnet looks, using different light set ups.

As you can see from the images below

So thanks to Crystal for standing in and creating some good strong images.
