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.

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.

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.

Isolation . ... Going through the archives

As I am in week two of twelve of isolation, I am going back into my digital archives starting with 2004 when I first bought a DSLR the images below are of Maria who ended up featuring in a overseas version of Playboy and has long retired. Taken on a late afternoon entirely natural light with two large white polystyrene boards as fill in. The second set were taken in my lounge using a self made background using dyed painters dust sheet lit with Courtney Colorflashes with silver umbrellas.
