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.

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.

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.

Casa Bellini burlesque show.

A great night at Casa Bellini run by the wonderful Constance Peach. I have to apologise for the lack of images, and the quality. I didn’t have my normal camera with me as I was never intending making any images at the show. I had my Canon Pro 1, and while I love it for street photography(where I had been, before the show),  its rubbish in low light.

There are more images at my Facebook pages

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!)

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.
