Down on the farm.

Luke asked me a while ago if I could use a farm for any shoots. Of course I said, yes but its only now we have got around to doing it.  I’m working on a book with Alice  (which will be available before xmas) and today was the penultimate shoot for that,  plus we got some shots of Luke too.

Really pleased with the results. Shot with mostly ambient (inside and out)  and one Canon 550ex flash with a,  (now knackered )  shoot through umbrella.

Sally at the Magnesia works.

I haven’t known Sally that long,but she has become one of my best friends.  She is a fantastic person and although never considers herself a model I think she rocks.  Big time!   She is a demon on a pole too.   You may remember her  cowgirl  set?

These were shot at the (in)famous  Magnesia works at Hartlepool.   I think just about every urbanX  and model photographer, in the North East has shot here at some point.

Along for the ride on the day was the rather awesome Mr Derk German, who, if your model I suggest add,and book him for a shoot.  His blog is called thetiedhasturned.

Im sure he wont mind me showing you a couple of  ‘behind the scenes’ shots from the day.

Big heels?

Got to shoot with the beautiful (and slightly mad) Laura Pandora again. We did some gorgeous natural light stuff and some fun ‘white wall’ stuff, and we got the chalk out too. I love the stuff these girls come up with!

Erotica-NSFW! (not safe for work)

I have wanted to shoot some erotica for some time,but never found the right people to do it with.

I wanted to create images, that while highly sexually provocative,  were also artistic and most importantly ‘real’.

I love the results of what we got on this shoot.  There are more(different)  images from this shoot at my Tumblr blog.

Although not a ‘real’ couple, the chemisty between Luke and Lilith was incredible and I feel the results speak for themselves.

I hope to get a chance to shoot these sort of images again(already had requests from 2 other couples!)

Mayfield Studio Day.

Spent the day at  Mayfield Studio  in Newcastle yesterday, with two other photographers and loads of models!   The whole  day was a blast with some amazing girls, working really hard to create some great images.

Here is a taster from each girl. There will be more from each set of course, over the next few weeks.

In my honest opinion  Katrina Darling  is the best model in the north east.  I am stunned she isn’t in demand more with the ‘bigger’ names in the photography world.  She is best known for pin up but can do fashion and glamour just as well. Here is an ‘alt glamour’  (with a hint of ‘fashion’?) shot from yesterday.

Next up, is Kat’s friend Abbey. She has never modeled before and was very nervous. She has a fairly unique look, with a hint of a famous(dead) singer about her. I thought she did a great job and she should keep doing at as she will only get better. Check out her Tumblr here.

I had to add this shot too. As some of you know,I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for amazing womens shoes (and, no, not wearing them!) Both Kat and Abbey kept me happy in that department yesterday!

Sophie is another girl who hasn’t modeled for very long at all.  A fantastic curvy figure and a great attitude means she is going to be a success the more she models.  She absolutely ‘rocked’  it yesterday!

Lilith is a girl I have shot with many times, and will continue to do so.I love shooting with her, because of her attitude, and her continually improving ability as a model. She is a good friend as well. I wanted to try something completely new yesterday with low key lighting.  Not something I have done before but I love this.  The second image is something more typical and is Lilith in ‘rock’n'roll’ mode.


Sally is simply awesome.  A writer,dancer, and the sort of mad woman who climbs mountains and jumps out of planes.   She doesn’t class herself as a model, but as a great friend should, I bully her into it!  She seems to enjoy it so it can’t be that much of a hardship for her!
Emily-Rose is just a sweetheart.  Only  been modeling since she turned 18. She is tiny but has a big personality. She wasn’t one of my models yesterday but  I ‘stole’ her from one of the other photogs (thanks Gregg) just for a quick 5 minutes of portraits. This was my favorite of them.

Last but not least, the very elegent Amy Wesencraft. Amy isn’t normally my kind of model, as I would class her as a ‘fashion’ model. Five foot 10, and legs that go on forever.

Finally check out the other two photographers that I was at the studio with yesterday.
I have know Gregg for a long time and he is a top man–get a shoot with him.

Secondly my good mate Sabu Brian. The ‘King of beards’.

Constance Peach.

Constance Peach is an ever increasingly popular burlesque performer based in the North East. However her popularity is spreading and she travels more and more nationally.  A great girl who has a real grace about her.  She has done a lot of classy burlesque modeling and some wonderful latex work.  Just for a change I really wanted to ‘grime’  her up a little.  So I did.

The t-shirt was provided by Dare to Wear clothing.  Highly recommended if you need ANY t-shirt design(no matter how offensive!)  Web site

FayeX.

In late 2009, I took a trip to Sheffield and got to shoot 4 incredible girls. One of those girls was FayeX, who is actually my favorite model. I put her up there with Pammy and Vikki Blows as far as talent and beauty is concerned. The advantage Faye has over the other two is, I have met her, made images of her, and sat and had a 3 hour conversation about every subject under the sun, with her!  She is simply incredible.  On top of all that she is an amazing photographer in her own right. Don’t you just hate ultra talented people? 
I really hope I get the chance to shoot with her again.

I can only apologise, that it has taken so long to get these images out there. I have no idea why its taken so long.

Dee la Beau-naughty girl!

We have seen Dee before. She can do cute and fun, but on this particular day she was in ‘naughty mode’. She is a very rude girl–wait till you see the Nonzo set!

Rob-Photographer.

Rob is another photographer who also has a passion for diving (runs a diving school with his gorgeous wife Nicola- book a session.)   This image is a part of my ‘photographer photographs’  series.   The first four are here.

Thought I would try something a little grittier with Rob.

Check out some of his images.

Karen.

I met Karen at the amazing night that was Grindhouse as she was there as a photographer herself, taking images for Deviant Magazine and doing a write up of the event.  She totally reminded me of  Michelle Mcgee  but with slightly less ink!  I convinced her that we should do a shoot and after all the  “I’m not a model” stuff, she agreed.

Karen looks the part of a  ‘fetish queen’  to a tee so it was easy to suggest we did that kind of shoot. I think she looks great and I think most  ‘subs’  would

be happy with her as their  ‘mistress’!
I also thought we should do some softer stuff too-hence the lingerie shots.  I think she looks great,and we had a blast.
