Associate Panel Success

I have been very busy preparing for my associate panel submission for the Master Photographer's Association.  I am supremely pleased to announce that I passed, I am now an Associate!  I will post the images shortly.  So excited and thrilled that they passed me.  Fellowship is my next journey, I am starting to plan it already!

Model Shoot

I have a session tomorrow with the beautiful Ami Virden, an agency signed model, we have worked together on a couple of shoots this year and I am super excited about the shoot. She wants to update her book with some edgy fashion images, beauty images and some lingerie images.  The super talented makeup artist Amy Biddulph will be providing her amazing skills for the day and I have been doing lots of homework to get an idea of the type of images we are looking at creating.

Creative Dance Shoot - Sneak Peek

Here are a few images from the creative dance shoot with the amazingly talented Emily and Akeim of Northern School of Contemporary Dance and the super creative Anna of MUAnna.  We had an awesome day, it was hugely enjoyable.  The first two shots were taken using my trusty quadra lights and the third image was taken using available light.

Creative Dance Shoot

Had an fantastic session today with the highly talented makeup artist Anna of MUAnna and awesome dancers Emily and Akeim from Northern School of Contemporary Dance. The shoot took place on location in Birmingham under the arches of a railway line in Digbeth.  For the first part of the session I used my trusty Elinchrom Quadras balanced with the natural daylight under the arches, Akeim did his finest impression of spiderman climbing up the wall, will post a sneak peek soon. Then we decided to do some natural light shots at a fast shutter speed to capture some movement shots, the railway bridge arches provided a fantastic quality of light it was like having two lovely large window of diffused light so I was more than happy to try. As you will know from earlier posts I am not confident with natural light but I am happy to take on the challenge and improve my skills in this area.  Will post some edited photos from the session soon.
