Hard Times Clothing A/W Collection

Before moving to Peterborough I took some photographs for the release of Hard Times Clothing's new Autumn/Winter Collection. This shoot was crammed packed into just a couple of hours due to several of us getting stuck in traffic, one model not turning up and some very, very bad rain!

Nevertheless we pushed forward and got some pretty awesome shots, massive thanks to the guys and ladies for this one, Leah Harris, Scarlett Ward, Dale Ballinger and Joel Heywood.

Here's a few shots from the set.

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.
