Some New Portraits

Posted by Paul

I have recently become involved with a local studio called Digimon based in coventry. Whilst still a fledgeling photographic studio, they have great experience with video and offer a range of video facilities including editing and green screen.

It has been my pleasure to assist them with photographer / model experience days where models and photographers get the chance to network, plan and create new images. It is different from the usual group shoot days as it is restricted in numbers allowing everyone to get the images they want.

Amber Foxx – the tractor files

Posted by Paul

After discovering that Pocket Wizards made location shooting so much fun, it seemed only fair to subject Amber to even more location work!
In order to minimise the discomfort I chose the windiest day of the year, on the premise that we would be inside for the shoot….totally forgetting the fact that most barns are not that windproof, doors have a habit of being blown open and that using a 5ft umbrella on your main light source also makes an impressive kite…
However the images turned out nice, the umbrella…well that is no longer as round as it once was….but seeing as it only cost £7 I am not too upset at that.

Amber Foxx – the Birmingham Files……

After a successful shoot at the Curzon St car park earlier in the year, I did a follow up shoot with Amber around the Custard Factory in Digbeth and then we ventured into the city centre.
The Custard Factory is as its name suggests an old custard factory (I believe Birds?) that has been reinvented as a creative and arts centre. It is home to a diverse range of creatives from Graffiti to Wedding Dress designers to vintage and retro shops. It is well worth a look round and often has exhibitions for you to see.
We used one of the empty gallery areas for some shoots and it was a chance for me to try my new pocket wizards out.

As we had spoken to the reception staff there we were fortunate enough to be given free rein to shoot where we liked as long as we didnt disrupt or get in anyones way.

We also met the owners of Graffiti4Hire who graciously gave us permission to take some shots inside their design space, these guys are very creative and if you need some work done then please give them a look

Canvas for Cliches

Posted by Paul

This is a new company I recently worked with and this came about through a good friend of mine Jo Spurr asking for my help working with a new model Elizabeth Bishop. Canvas for Cliches have a website as well as a blog I look forward to seeing my images there soon. As with all things the client chose different pictures to the model who chose different images to me. However the client always retains priority on images chosen – whether the shoot is TF or paid.
