Becki Lloyd Set 2

I really need to get better at blogging more often. This one is very delayed...

Back in March I shot with Becki Lloyd and posted the first set of images from our three sets. To make the most of our time Becki brought a variety of clothing. I also took this opportunity to try out a few slightly different editing techniques to achieve something a little different to my previous work. I also decided to shoot with just my 50mm at f1/8, here are the results...

 For these next few shots I decided to add a pink tint to give them a vintage feel. I really like how this effect works, so will definitely be trying something similar again.

This final shot is VERY different from anything I've done for a while. I've come across a lot of merged images lately and wanted to give it a go. I really liked the background in these, so I thought I'd experiment. I don't think the results are too amazing, but there's something I really like about it.

Black Altar Apparel and Glorious Nightmare clothing with Leah Harris

Last month I got to shoot again with the very lovely Leah Harris. Leah had been sent some clothing to shoot for Black Altar Apparel and Glorious Nightmare who needed some look book style shots for their websites. For this shoot we were lucky enough to have some gorgeous sunshine (on a bank holiday as well) and shot at Cannock Chase. This is my second time shooting here and I really want to go exploring a little more to see what else the location has to offer.

After a bit of a trek and a discussion over my fear of possibly seeing a snake...we set up in one location and shot for Glorious Nightmare. The guys wanted some shots they could use for adverts and promos on their websites and also some shots for their Big Cartel.

Here's some of the results:

We then headed back the way we came for a change of sceneary for the shots for Black Altar Apparel.

Trust No One Clothing

In addition to our previous shoot model Jen Hughes had contacted Trust No-One clothing about using some of their tees for another shoot. Little did I know Trust No-One clothing is run by two of the guys from the absolutely awesome We Are Fiction, (Tom Calton and Ryan Chambers) a band that I happened to put on at a show I organised in Birmingham back in 2010.

For these shots we decided to shoot in Jen’s flat and go with a theme of two girls hanging and posing around their flat. Jen’s living room window and window-sill acted as the perfect base for the girls to pose on and so we decided this would be the main focus for the shots.

 In addition to the window I couldn’t resist taking a few ‘sofa’ shots of the girls lounging around.

 And then felt they would be perfect shots to shoot on Polaroid…. (Impossible Project film)

Both of these Polaroid shots were taken using flash. The first on the sofa appears much darker, whilst the window shot looks overexposed. When shooting the window shot my studio lights were still on and lighting the girls hence them being so bright. For the sofa shots I made sure I turned off the studio lights but the images in this shot seem just a bit too dark.

A big thanks again to Kerry-Louise Hiles and Adrian Love for their help and work on this shoot.
