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.
I have fancied shooting at The Hacienda for some time and I am glad I finally got to do so. Sean the owner is a gracious host and extremely helpful when explaining the ins and outs of shooting there. The studio itself is stunning with so much light you can shoot at mid level iso settings comfortably. Being such an open space you have a lot of flexibility where and what you can shoot and not run out of options. Any money made by the studio is given to homeless charities which is another reason to use it. I have previously worked with Nicole so working with her again was a easy choice. We got through a lot of sets and I have just added one from each set.
