Aelita

I had a shoot with a new model Aelita who is from Lithania but has lived in Birmingham for the last year, I noticed her profile on Model Mayhem and she agreed to a shoot. It was shot outdoors at my local nature reserve Gorse Farm Wood and upstairs in my front bedroom using natural light with just one large polystrene white board used as reflect light on to Aelita. Although I shoot in RAW at all times the camera was set to black and white and it was the intention to process them only as shot, when converting the files in Lightroom they looked ok in colour, so I processed a couple of the images and I have attached an example along with a mono image.

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.

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.
