Had my fifth model shoot from the Pink Elephant Model agency. Roveina was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very professional and experienced. She needed very little direction during the shoot. Very enjoyable shoot.
The shoot was taken down High Street in Hull, and along the river Hull. There is a mix of old cobbled streets and new development around this area. Some of the shoots where taken around William Willberforce house and the Street Life museum.
Had my 1st shoot with Naomi today at Pickering park in Hull. I had not meet Naomi before the shoot but had seen several photos of her. Some of which she had just had taken at a model competition she had just won. I never appreciated how tall she is. She told me that she is 5'10". She was also wearing heels for the shoot, I'm 5'11" and she towered over me.
The shoot went well. Naomi needed very little direction from. She was both professional and fun to work with. I'm looking forward to working with her and her partner in the near future.
Had my 1st shoot with Sam a local model that contacted me via Pink Elephant Dance and Model Agency. Shoot went well. 1st time this year I have seen sunshine through my lenses. The shoot was taken on Beverley Westwood, East Yorkshire. It had rained heavily for the last week, which meant the lower pasture are was very wet. This worked well for some reflection shoots.
Had a photo shoot with Jenna and Becky. First time I had worked with either of these two models. Wanted to do a winter style fashion shoot. We where quite lucky with the weather. Luckily when it did rain we where at a covered seated area in a park. Big problem I found was after shoots taken due to the poor light of late afternoon. The strobe picked up the rude graffiti, which had to be photo shopped out. Hoping to work with both Jenna and Becky in the near future.
Had a trip to Whitby in July last year. Never uploaded any of the pictures at the time. With the bad weather we have had for the last few weeks I have not been able to shoot anything new so have been going through some old photos. Here are a few from last year.
