September bookings

I am thinking about booking shoots for September and would like to hear from models who possibly I haven't worked with before. As always I am open to ideas and suggestions about how and where shoots take place but I'm really looking for a challenge so it could be anything from nude to fashion.

Interview with universdartistes

I recently did a Q&A with Jan Murphy from http://www.universdartistes.com it will be interesting to see it published online. It was my first experience of doing something like that and I'm hoping it could lead to further exposure for my work. I still have some way to go before I regard my work as gallery standard but that is the target I have set myself.

Latest photo shoot

Aimee a fabulous local model who came at very short notice when the model who was booked became ill. It was one of my shortest ever studio shoots but the pictures came out just as I envisaged them.

Bideford

Just got back from holiday in Bideford Devon.

The highlight of the week was a photoshoot with Claire at Framington. Discovered on old ship washed up on the shore when I turned off the main road to Barnstaple to get away from a tailgater. I wish I was able to thank him now if it wasn't for his crap driving I'd never have found a real diamond of location. The cafe sells local ice cream which I can recommend.

The week went by without any major issues after the irrate neighbour apologized about his outburst within two minutes of us arriving.

May be a return visit to Bideford will happen one day but me thinks a larger house will be the order of the day next time.

Holiday

Arrived yesterday at our holiday home in Bideford and was confronted by an angry neighbour, not the best way to start a weeks break.
I'm not sure if the house was designed as a starter home for midgets but we have bigger beach-huts in Bournemouth. To say it's disappointing would be an understatement. The view from the lounge is very nice though, when the tides in.
The bedrooms are VERY small and I'm sure the beds are rejects from Bed-R-Us.
Today we will do a bit of retail therepy to try and forget a bad first night and hope things improve for the rest of the week.

10th June 2009

Sunday aventuryn (Katya) came to my studio for a test shoot. It was a fairly frantic evening with lots of ideas from a Cabaret theme to shredded material but we had a lot of fun.









Monday a fabulous model called quietly _filthy (Essie) endured a 5 hour train journey to Poole and we are both very happy with the results. I can't speak highly enough of Essie she is one of the best models I have ever worked with.





I will be on holiday in Devon next week and have a shoot booked with Claire from NM which I'm looking forward to.
