Elle Beth – Red Chair. NSFW
Here is a collection of 9 images featuring the model Elle Beth and a red chair. They were all shot in an old warehouse location in central Nottingham. The lighting of these images was just the available natural window light of the location.
After scouting the location we found an old broken red chair that I felt would make a good prop for this set of images with Elle Beth. The theme of the set was around the idea of Elle finding an old lost chair, which was now in sad state of repair and the memories emotions it brought back .
Elle who I have worked with a number of times in recent years, produced a good set of different poses which I thought showed different emotion in each image in the set.
The choice of monochrome seemed to suit the subject and location. As in colour the red of the chair seem to dominate the image a bit too much in some of the shots. However the image below I kept in colour as the skin tones worked well against the red chair in this pose.
The images above were all processed in Lightroom including converting to monochrome. They were then exported into Photoshop for a few tweeks and final finishing.

It been a great decade for my imaging making.

We have shot many different genre of images from Fashion, through to Artistic Nudes.
Both on location and in the studio.
January Print of the Month
Happy New Year!
My pick for the January 2020 Print of the Month is entitled: Mischkan in the rock opening.
For this print of the month I chose to work up an image from a location shoot with the model Mischkah Scott. Who is now based in Trondheim, Norway. Misckah is an experienced and creative model and is fun to work with.
The image was shot on location in Warwickshire area. The area had some interesting openings to work with. Mischkah was able to get into this particual opening and make a great figure shape. The soft tones of her skin against the roughness of the surrounding rock, were a feature that I particulary liked in this shot

Highlights of 2019
As we reach the end of year it is time to put some highlights of 2019 from my photography year together.
In January I worked with Stephanie Dubois a uk based freelance model. Stephaine had been on my list of models I want to work with for a while. So it was good to get to work with her.
Highlights of 2019 images:
January also gave me a chance to shoot some Ski racing in the Ski resort of Tignes. The European Alpine skiing cup was taking place the week we were there. Unfortuately the final parallel slalom races took place in heavy snow. So not easy conditions for the racers or photograhers.
I also got a visit to the Black country living museum in Dudley which gave the chance for a few location portraits using natural light.
Walters wardrode productions, opened it doors with two events which I attended. One in April and the other in early October, both of which were great. Good models and high class fashion designer outfits to shoot in fantastic locations.

Another fashion shoot but with a very different look and styling was the Electric Dreams themed shoot – Styled by Ivory Flame. Featuring designers Yummy Gummy Latex, MUA Gemma Howell and hair by Even Huang
A new model to work with this year from the Midlands we had an enjoyable shoot in April.
I also found two other Aerialist to work with Fanny Müller who is a dancer as well as an Aerialist. Allegra who is a trapeze artist and instructor. I created some great and different images with both of them.

It is good to look back at the highlight of the year and the 2018 highlights can be found here.
December Print of the Month
My pick for the December 2019 Print of the Month is entitled: The trio at the fire exit.
For this December print of the month I chose to work up an image from a location shoot with the three of the top UK Artistic Nude figure models Ivory Flame, Ella Rose and Nicole Rayner.
The image created on location in Lancashire. The location an old mill had this metal stair platform that appeared to go no where. This structure situated in front of the window looked interesting. On the wall behind was a steel ladder and the Fire Escape sign.
The window provided some great natural light for the models to work within. I asked each one to create their own pose using the steel stair way and ladder at the back. This was one that I liked the shapes they had created.
