A few images from a walk-about shoot in Birmingham city center. Featuring Hamish WJ Scott a professional dancer and model from Birmingham. I have worked with Hamish a number of times in the past and you can see some of my dance images featuring him in my Dance Portfolio.

The styling theme for the shoot was a Peaky Blinder look which suited the locations we were shooting in very well. However with the temperatures in the high twenties that day. The choice of wearing a heavy jacket, cap and a tweed suite was not the easiest of tasks for the Hamish.

Here are a few selected images from a trip to Scotland. These image feature the actress, dancer and model Fanny Müller. I have been fortunate to have worked with Fanny a number of times in the past. She is also an Aerial artist, so she features in my Aerial portfolio.

These were all shot in the evening in the castle grounds, as the sun was starting to set. As Fanny is a dancer we went for some dance themed images. So movement pointe shoes and leaps all featured during the session. The whole time outside was challenging as with no wind the Scottish midges out in their thousands. Which made it difficult for the dancer and photographer. But we captured some good images at the location.

Nausicaa – fishnets and leather

A chance came up to work with Nausicaa at the Boardroom studio in Derby. A cool studio location to work in.

Elena aka Nausicaa is based in Central London so when I spotted that she was going to be in Derby, I arranged to work with her. We had a productive shoot and below are a set of images from the first setup.

The lighting set up I chose was a single constant light which I reflected back towards the model with three mirrors. Which gave interesting light pattern shadows behind the model.

As I was shooting in monochrome. The styling of this set Elena chose the fishnets and a black body to go with the leather jacket. Hence the title fishnets and leather.
