Antonia and Alice – Duo session – NSFW

Some more images from the shoot with models Antonia Jay and Alice on the moon when they were visiting Lancashire in August. This set are feature Art Nude images shot out doors in the garden and orchard area. Antonia and Alice worked well together and they were great fun to create with.

The natural light in the garden was balance with a small studio flash so that flash just lifted the pair out of the background. But with it not been obvious that a flash has been used.

A moment of peace Duo in the Dutch Arbour garden seat.

The image below again lit by a single studio head fitted with a large octa box. This in turn was then fitted with a grid to control the spread of light.

Two studio flash heads with grids set each side of the model.

A certain time of the year you get light patches on the floor which come from the studio windows. Using these areas of light always give some interesting images with the light and shadows

A rectangular strip box fitted to a studio flash head and fitted with a grid for this shot.

Marrina – Natural light NSFW

Marrina is a awesome professional model from Lithuania. I had a chance to set up a shoot with her at my local studio Silkwood.

These images are from a set we did using the natural light from thestudio windows as the light source. The styling chosen was a black jacket and pants to give a elegant but edge fashion look.

Denisa Strakova – NSFW

Denisa Strakova is a fashion and art model based in Czechia. During her recent tour of the UK, I found that she was going to be in the my area. So the chance to work with her was not to be missed. Over the course of the session we shot a range of themes, from fashion to Artist Nude. Below are a selection of the images that we created together. These are well worth a scroll down to the bottom:

Riona – Natural Light – NSFW.

A set of natural light images featuring Riona. These were all shot using the The Fujifilm GF110 F2 lens. This is certainly a great portrait lens. As you can see from the images below the image quality is where this lens stands out. It renders the images sharp from wide open and delivers a calm beautiful bokeh that is not a distraction. Instead the out of focus areas support the image with great, neutral, subject separation.

The light in the room was coming from a velux window in the roof which gave some really nice soft natural light for theses shots

I had the chance to work with her while she was touring in the UK. Minh-Ly works across genres, from portrait to fine-art nude, and specialise in emotionally resonant, visually striking imagery. As you can see from the images below.

The range of images shown below feature different lighting choices. The rooms natural light was the light source for in Images 1 ,4 and 7. The setup used in the other images was a studio flash head, fitted with a rectangular soft box. Fitted to this was a grid to control the light spill.

Mimi Deskua -NSFW

Mimi Deskua is a fine art model based in Geneva, Switzerland. When I spotted that she was going to be in the area. I arranged to work with her at my local studio : Silkwood.

For this set of images I wanted a simple lighting set up that gave soft transition across the model. I placed a medium octa fitted with a grid to control the spread of the light. This was placed to the right hand side of the model and feathered it away from the background. This gave me separation between the model and background. By moving around the set different view points gave a slightly different mood for the set of images. However the positioning of the light source did not changed.

EmiLi – NSFW

Emili is a Bristol based model who was visiting Leeds. So I took the opportunity to work with her at my local studio Silkwood. The lighting setups I choose was a simple just using a single studio flash fitted with a rectangular soft box, This was also fitted with a grid to direct the light.

I like deep and moody shadows – shadows that carried tension. So by using a soft but directional light, it allowed me to keep the environment honest, and draw the eye to expression, posture, and intent.

Lighting for the images below was a gridded large octa placed in front and to the left hand side of the subject. I then feathered it across the scene to keep it off the background. The deeper shades and light angle sculptured the body nicely.

Regina Piil – NSFW

Regina Piil is a Danish full-time traveling model. I spotted she was at Basford studio so a chance to work with her was not to be missed. It was only a short session but we covered a few different locations using the natural window light. Regina was a pleasure to create with and with lots of strong sunlight coming in through the windows. I exposed for the highlights, and then processed the images for the shadows. Which I think suited the images.

Miss C – November Shoot

A November visit to Staffordshire gave a chance to shoot with Miss C. Owner and resident model of the luxury photographic venue, Basford Hurst Cottage. I had visited the studio previously to work with a visiting model. So I had a feel for the location and also the opportuntiy to create with Miss C, was not to be missed.

It was a typical November day so wet and dark, which sort of set the mood for the shoot. I went for a simple lighting setup using an Elinchrom One and used two different light shapers durin the shoot.

I wanted shadows you could almost feel — shadows that carried tension, Soft but directional light allowed me to: Keep the environment honest, draw the eye to expression, posture, and intent.
