Queensway shoot & Flairnow

A while ago I had another shoot with Yinsey, this time with another model; Charlene & make-up artist Sarah. They were an absolutely fantastic team!

Having spent a considerable amount of time locked up in Costa getting ready, we were confronted with a grey & rainy Queensway as our location for our shoot. However, we found a little back street, with some shelter for the rainier moments & I have to say, I'm very pleased with the results & had a great time. Even if it was absolutely freezing. Our final stop was Charlene's bathroom, as the light was diminishing too much for our final look. Not exactly ideal lighting for such fantastic make-up, however, with some photoshopping (courtesy of my lovely models) the shots turned out really well. Then Yinsey & I had to do some serious running to get back home before the last trains.

Also some of my shots from the Cleopatra shoot are being used in the promotional images for the next issue of FlairNow.

It's all gone a bit quiet on the photography front for a while, but, hopefully I'm back on track now. Last week I had a Cleopatra shoot with some lovely models & make-up artists in Queensway for a magazine submission. A few behind the scenes shots for you:







The final images won't be revealed until it's out.



In other news, the Katzi website is now up, which features some of the pictures from the bridal jewellery shoot back in May.

I've been pretty busy with [avoiding revision for] exams lately, however, last week I did two photoshoots for Katzi bridal jewellery, with an absolutely fantastic team. The first of which was at Kenwood House, with a traditional English Rose feel & the second was in & around London (complete with sixteen seater red mini bus which we somehow managed to completely fill with wedding dresses, make-up & snacks) with an edgier feel.

Anyway, here are some "behind the scenes" shots because I always find those intriguing...

The whole city shoot team (bar Fran & Annika, who were the models earlier in the day).



Amber's wrap-time joy.

Here's a sneaky glimpse of the finished item, from the earlier, more traditional shoot:




I'm aiming to get a lot of shoots organised for the summer once my exams finish on 13th. I'm also looking into taking evening classes in Photography in order to gain some sort of qualification & supplement my somewhat limited technical abilities. Hopefully I can do that over the summer, to fill the ridiculous amounts of time I'll have, if not, then I'll start when I get back to London for the new term in September.
