An impromptu photoshoot with Shigure X Core

There are no words for how fab to work with this girl is. It was all very last minute and opportune, we managed to get the best half an hour's light I've shot in for quite some time and I am so pleased with the results.

Model Shots - Naomi

I don't know where to start, writing about Naomi.

Her first proper shoot and she absolutely nailed it. She was really positive and excited about the shoot throughout, even when a group of school boys latched onto us in pursuit of her phone number. She was still focussed and pulled off some ace shots despite them hassling her slightly out of frame.

It was also one of those times when I knew absolutely that we were reading from the same page, we had the same ideas about poses and looks and it took next to no direction to get exactly the shots I had in mind and some that exceeded my expectations. She worked really well with the backdrop, totally getting the mood that it called for and settling into shots really quickly when we changed locations. She gave me so much to work with, from the very first frame. Look, you get the picture - it was amazing and in my opinion she's a natural talent as well as being a lovely girl with a cracking sense of humour (and the same pair of shoes as me.) So, enough waffle - it's time for the photos!

Model Shots - Terri

I'm off to Manchester today to shoot a video with Shutterbox films as well as doing a couple of really exciting shoots myself. Can't wait! I have to embark on my epic bus journey shortly so I'll keep the waffle brief, but here are some shots I took of the lovely Terri yesterday. You may recognise her from the shoot I did in a launderette last year. Shamefully it's taken all this time to get around to shooting again but once again it was a fab, relaxed experience and I'm dead chuffed with how the pictures turned out, in the face of failing light and a fair bit of invisible rain.
