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.
Nicola & Jen , a set on Flickr. I contacted mua Nicola Tseng through Model Mayhem as she was local and looking to collaborate with local photographers after a few emails we decided on on a urban theme shooting in black and white. Nicola had been in contact with a new model who was keen to add to her portfolio, it was just a matter of finding a location that had not been overused as is the case in Birmingham once somewhere new is found the foot fall from photographers is great. So I went looking around the Digbeth/Highgate area and found boarded up parking lot with a few boards missing granting easy access, it was also close to the White Room Studio whose owner Dan Stone allowed us to use the dressing room to prep. Two days before the shoot our 'model' disappeared, fortunately I was able to draft in Jen who models under the name of Envii Mi at short notice. The shoot itself went well shot entirely in natural light and using reflectors and a diffuser.
