New Web Site.

This post is just to let you know that this blog will soon be no more.
I am moving everything over to a brand new web site which will have most of the content from here moving over to there.
I will continue to update my web site as I am still shooting a lot. There at least 9 sets still waiting to be processed–so plenty to come.
Thanks to everyone who has followed me on here, and I hope you will continue to follow me on my new site too.

Chris.

My book is now available.

It may only be a self published book through Blurb.com, but I’m very pleased to say that my book is now available.

Alice and myself have been shooting images for this book since January.

Please go to the Blurb bookstore  to order. It’s available in softback,

and if your feeling rich, hardback too.

Mayfield Studio day (part 2)

Another day at the wonderful Mayfield Studio. First up is the incredible Rita. I first shot her about 18 months ago as a new model,and she was very good from the off. She hasn’t modeled for about a year and you wouldn’t have guessed. She was fantastic! I can’t wait to shoot with her again.
Alice is a little bit special. We have been working together regularly over the last year for a book that will be out very soon(by the end of October I hope) where you will be to see all the great work we have been doing over the last 12 months. Yesterday set was a lot of fun. (Pity the TV didn’t work).

Claire is brand new to modeling. This was her first ever shoot. She was very nervous, but I do see potential. I think once she has learned to relax she will do well. Must have been very daunting to be in a studio with 2 other photographers and about 7 or 8 other models for your very first shoot!

Last but not least we come to Alice J and Sophie. Best friends and both as mad as a box of frogs(especially Sophie!) Both great fun to be around and once they get the confidence they need they will both be great. They have a great attitude and are willing to learn. Watch this space!

Image published.

If you’re in the North East you may well read the Sunday Sun. Today one of my images is on the front and full size on page 3.  While I am very happy that my image of Katrina Darling is featured,  it’s incredibly annoying that they didn’t credit me.  I only agreed to it being published on the condition my copyright was printed.  I shall be following this up.

Sophie-Grid.

Sophie is simply incredible(for more than a couple of reasons!) She was perfect for one of my grids.

Lilith-Lingerie.

As you may have noticed, I have been shooting with Lilith quite a lot of late, and I hope that continues for some time to come. She is great fun to shoot with and is stunningly pretty. She has a great attitude and has that rare quality of an, almost, sweet innocence and at the same time, raw sexuality.
I have a book coming out with Alice very shortly, but straight after I will be working on my second book, all featuring Lilith- and we have some fantastic ideas for that!

Kat.

Confession time. I have a total crush on Kat. As a model she is simply awesome. She can do rock chick, pinup and burlesque(which she is possibly best known for), glamour, and fashion. She is fun, funny and has an attitude that I absolutely adore in a model. I’m very lucky in that I get to shoot some incredible looking girls from all over the country, but Kat just has ‘something’ that makes her incredibly special.

I cant wait for the next time.

These were again shot at Mayfield Studio which I can’t recommend enough. These images are on the white infinity curve with just one octobox creating the light from camera left.

Abbey (part II) and Kat.

As you saw on Monday, Abbey was a first time model. I thought she did a great job, even though she was very nervous. Before her solo stuff we did some images of her and Katrina Darling together. Away from modeling they are best mates, and I think that shows in these images– very relaxed and a lot of fun.

On Friday there will be more from Kat on her own.

Here are a couple of Kat on her own that were, obviously done at the same time.

I still struggle a little in a studio setting but the one thing I love about Mayfield Studio  is the natural light it gives.  I love shooting in this corner where the light is beautiful.  Needles to say these images(and all the ones from Monday) are natural light only. Oh, and those spots? All from a disco ball!

Abbey.

I saw Abbey in a pub one night and just thought, ‘WOW She’s cool’. I was quite drunk and as she was with her fella, so I decided rather than go over myself, I would ask a friend to take over one of my cards and tell her why she was giving it to her.  She got in touch and we set up a shoot.  She had never modeled before and she was pretty nervous but she did a great job.  I really like these images.  She also did some images with Katrina Darling  which you will see later (as well as some awesome images of Katrina on her own).

If your a Tumblr user then Abbey has a very cool blog here.
