Vintage shoot with Tayyab

My first shoot of 2016 was with Tayyab, a model who I had previously met on a shoot I assisted on. As my portfolio lacks male models shooting with Tayyab was a great way to start 2016. I decided to go for a smart/casual vintage theme and thanks to Bethany Wine and the Sue Ryder Vintage store in Peterborough we had some amazing outfits to work with. All clothing and shoes pictured is from their store!

For this shoot I shot with my 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and had one off camera flash set up with a Lastolite Ezybox.

 

These final images were taken using only natural light...

Anavae - The Met Lounge - Peterborough

When I first moved to Peterborough apart from being away from my friends and family, and worrying about money, one of my main concerns was the lack of gigs I'd get to go to. I recognised the name of The Met Lounge so hoped there would be a few bands playing who I knew. Typically I've missed out on a few gigs that I would have liked to go to like Fort Hope, Feed The Rhino and Young Guns who played the Cresset, but I was lucky enough to see Funeral For a Friend and also Mallory Knox since being here.

A couple of weekends ago I'd heard that Anavae were playing and knew it was a show that I couldn't miss. I've been waiting to see these guys live for a while, and even though Rebecca was ill, they didn't disappoint.

This was the first show I've ever shot at The Met Lounge, and with their being no barrier or pit I was lucky that the crowd weren't rowdy so I didn't get knocked out of the way. As with all small venues us photographers can't really expect amazing lighting, but I've seen much worse and managed to shoot with flash as well. As I often feel limited shooting with a 50mm I borrowed my boyfriend's 24-70mm - I definitely need to buy one for myself!

Here are some of my favourite shots...
