Amie – Mylar reflections

Amie – Mylar reflections, this series of images are from a studio shoot with model Amie. The lighting setup used Mylar sheet to reflect the light back towards the wall and subject. Which gave some funky cool light patterns on the wall and subject. Some cool looking sunglasses help to create some great fashion look images. Thanks to Amie for some great styling.

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.

Ashleigh Ray Warehouse fashion

I was visiting Brimingham and managed to arrange a studio session with model Ashleigh Ray at the Lampworks Studios. I have worked with Ashleigh Ray before when I was last in that area. So it was good to get to work with her again as she is an expressive model. The location was interesting as it was an old warehouse in the center of the jewelley quarter in Birmingham. Lots of grime and bare brick walls to work against. As we had choosen to do a fashion style shoot I decided to use hard light. As I wanted hard edge shadows against the bricks and grime of the location.

fashion photography fashion photographer - monochrome image of model wearing a white blouse and patterned bandana — The light place parallel to the wall allows most of the light to hit the model with very little spill on to the wall.

I was working with Carla in a local studio and wanted to create some fashion images using a bandana that Carla had brought along with her. The decision on styling was to use the cream blouse with the bandana. I chose to light the set with a single studio flash head fitted with a gridded softbox, This was placed just off the wall to the right hand side of the model, Which created a pool of light on the blouse and face with a slight spill onto the wall behind her.

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.

Zoi – Vintage Denim Hoody NSFW

Fashion Photography - Fashion Photographer - colour image of model wearing a vintage blue demin hoody

Model: Zoi. (her website is here)

Lighting: Aputure Storm C300d MK11 LED
Model: Fuji X-T3
Lens: Fuji Film XF35mmF1.4 R
Shutter Speed: 1/80 second
Aperture: F/1.8
Speed: IOS 320

Here are a set of fun edgy fashion images from a remote shoot with Zoi – I first worked with Zoi via a remote setup (with the model been in the Haigh in the Netherlands and I was at home in the UK), in 2020 and you can see some of the results in this post here. In the first shoot we did we just used the natural window light of the apartment. Which at the time of day gave some nice results.

This time Zoi had invested in a Aputure Strom C300d LED light, which gave an impressive light output. We used it in this set up as a hard light to get the strong shadows behind her.
