Eden Alt Model

Moving to Peterborough has really impacted the time I can spend on my photography. It doesn't have much of a model/photography scene so I struggle to find people within Peterborough to work with. Of course I'm now only an hours train journey to London which is great, and I have a car, BUT travelling costs money...

Luckily enough I came across Eden's profile on Purple Port, and after a few months of me settling into my life in Peterborough we finally arranged to shoot. We did originally plan to work with another model and make-up artist who sadly couldn't make it on the day (Watch this space that shoot will be re-arranged), so me and Eden decided to experiment in the studio.

I haven't done much studio work with models as I prefer to shoot on location as there's more to work with. I do however want to expand my studio portfolio and am working on some ideas for creative shoots.

Eden had brought a selection of outfits so I decided to test out some coloured backgrounds. I'm actually quite proud of these two shots and can't wait to work with Eden again!

To experiment a little more I decided to shoot through some fabric, for this shot I held the fabric loose in front of my lens so that it wasn't completely covered. I'm quite happy with the results and want to try out some different materials to see what other effects I can achieve.

Charly Malone

A few weeks ago the gorgeous Charly Malone said she needed some new photographs to update her portfolio due to having a new tattoo on her wrist. I jumped at the chance and we decided to try out the new studios over a DBM Studios.

I'm not normally one for portrait shots but I decided to give it a go for a few shots for this one and am pretty happy with the results.

To make the most of our time Charly brought along an extra outfit. I decided to try a vintage style filter on this one as I felt the plain white background was a bit boring on this one.
