Ramblings....

Photography...probably the most accessible of all art forms.

The Camera...A very powerful instrument! It can....Tell the truth and distort it. (more another time)

Take an ordinary subject, transform it. This can be done with different lighting techniques and viewpoints and shutter speeds.

The Art of make-up.
Make-up and of course the MUA are vitally important to fashion/glamour photography. The MUA and his/her bag of tricks can help create the desired look of the model for the photographer, very much a team effort.
Without upsetting the "hair stylists" out there too, hair and the various looks that can be achieved reasonably quickly on a shoot is also important to the end results.

Here is an example of achieving different looks. Both these images of the lovely Holly were shot on the same day half an hour apart and with a quick make-up & hair change we created two very different looks. I will have Andii explain some of his make-up skills and techniques in a future post thats all for now....got to go do some work now!!!

ANTM Ashley Brown

Had a wee shoot with Ashley Brown of Britain & Irelands next top model series 5 and America's Next Top Model (int Edition) 2012...

Ashley was a delight to work with.

Update....

So there are a few recent images. As you will see I dont really keep this bang up to date...where does the time go.

Tomorrow sees me venturing back to the castle on a shoot with a particularly high profile model, she is quite stunning. It's a bit of both this one, a test for her and a possible publication for the paper which I hope comes to fruition. More to come on this one a little later.

I have several more images to post from recent shoots too, these I will post over the next few days or weeks. I am terrible at finding the time for this.

And how do I make this Blog visible to the everyone...need to work this out too. Can I link it to FB & Twitter?? Now I have set myself a task!!

Well better go and get organised for the morning....Lights to check and pack...outfits to arrange Bring on tomorrow!!!

Ciao for now will be back soon.
