Not So Fine Lines

I am off work this week due to developing Pleurisy, which screwed up last weekend for me, I missed the Birmingham Model and Photographer meeting which was well attended by new and prospective models, I also had to cancel two shoots which really pissed me off big time as I hate being cancelled on so I could imagine how the models felt as well. This has also slowed down my editing for a few days as I am not coughing so much today I have spent a little time in front of the computer and re-edited a pic from a 2007 shoot I had with Shelly Radley and Katie Ingram.
One of my favourite photographic books is Fine Lines by John Swannell although this book is over 20 years old I look at it frequently for ideas the image below developed from a look from the book.

Nudes

 Slowly getting back into the groove after having received my covid jabs and after over a year of near isolation apart from seeing only my family and delivery drivers, I am rebooking shoots that were cancelled because of the lockdown. One style of nudity I have not seriously tried was body scapes apart from a couple of shoots with coloured gels a few years ago. The images in this blog are are all black and white and low key, the first two images of mature model Maisie, the other model is Lilia a newish model who has a fantastic physique although wasn't in training when we shot.

Beth Kate

 I have been aware of Beth Kate for some time as she lives not too far from Birmingham and she had a look that suited a style of shoot I have been planning to shoot for some time. Contact was made a shoot was organised and planned quickly. The shoot was in two sections natural light and a studio set. The day of the shoot we had a sunny day which made the light levels and camera settings not too difficult to manage. The images shown here are from those sets as I had a few problems with the studio images technically which will need further work.

Irida At Aatish Studio

 I have been using Aatish's studio for just under two years although I knew of its existence for some time, just a matter of having funds stopped me booking it before I eventually did. Especially as it was only three miles from my home, unfortunately it has been sold and I have had my last shoot there. September, Irida was in Birmingham and I managed to book a half day shoot with her at late notice due to me having a few medical problems that will need surgery eventually I could not commit to a date earlier. As she was only available during the afternoon I had to rethink the shoot I planned as I always shoot in natural light as much as possible and make the most of the facilities at studio. Only one image shown here was flash used, in the bathroom at the end of the shoot. .
