Prescott Hill Climb

Not only my second post in a week or so, a rare non model related posting, once the weather is warmer I will be walking and shooting urban landscapes around my locale. Last August I went to a Prescott Hills Climbing event for the first time. Although not a driver I have an interest in some motor sports and love looking at vintage motors, Sports photography is not my for forte and I have never been good at it, the good thing about the day was although the weather and light was variable, the venue allowed for many vantage points and me to take some landscapes as well.

Shelby and Shiro

First post of the year and a bitter sweet one. I had previously worked model Jaguar Pearce in 2019, we kept in contact via social media and a local photographers and model group we were both members of, We had arranged to do a golden hour shoot in one of the fields close to my home, then the pandemic struck fast forward to June and a date had been arranged and we were lucky with the weather until the afternoon of the shoot when it clouded over, so no glorious backlit images of Jaguar and her dogs Shelby a Alsatian Malamute and Shiro a Japanese Spitz. We had an hour or so taking images and surprisingly only other couple walking their dog. The bitter part of the shoot was that Shiro had to be put down due canine cancer.

Revival ... A Blog Resurrected

Nearly four years after for all intents and purposes abandoning this blog I have decided to start blogging again. As I am virtually retired and not getting much paid work I am relying on my works pension and savings costs have to be reduced so my other websites have been shut down or run on the cheapest tariff. Enough of my woes. I was involved in a charity fashion show in aid of Papyrus which deals with teenage suicide organised by Zizi Youngsam. I took the casting images of the applicants and one of the initial shoots which had the theme of 'strength', this involved a studio session with other photographers as the venue was small I also shot outside on what turned out to be a bright though cold October day using just a reflector an open lens and high iso. As per usual working on the streets of Birmingham you get people gawking and slowing down their cars to get a better look and the some of the models were wearing shorts which meant I worked quickly and got the shots I neede...

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.

A few images that I managed not to screw up completely
