Here are a few images from a location shoot with the model Ella Rose muse. The location was an old Mill, in which we had access to a few of the empty floors.

Old mill building are filled with history not only in the terms of what was made there. But also of the people and machinery that once worked and ran in these building. A chance to work with the Artistic nude model Ella Rose Muse inside this location dosn’t often come alone. As Ella Rose is from Oxfordshire and dosn’t get up north that often. So when it did it I grabed it.

Model: Ella Rose Muse
Photographer: Richard Spurdens
Lighting: Elinchrom Ranger Quadra and natural light
Camera: Canon 5D MkIV fitted with 70-200 f2.8 lens

The first area we worked in didn’t have very much natural light. I had brought along my Elinchrom Ranger Quadra which I fitted with a soft box. To provide some directional light and also set it up to overpower the low ambient light of the location. This helped to hid the background area which was slightly messy.

Turning to a landscape format gave a nice pool of light surrounding the model on the floor

The next set of images where shot on one of the upper floors. Which did have some better natural light to work with.

At the time of shooting the upper floors had some nice natural light coming in from the windows so used this location for a central shot of the model with recession coming from the windows and pillars

The steel fire doors gave some good and interesting textures for Ella to pose against. This shot and the two below are the same door. The natural light is from the windows to the right hand side
