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.

Nicole At The Hacienda

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.

Irida At Aatish Studio

I have been using Aatish's studio for just under two years although I knew of its existence for some time, just a matter of having funds stopped me booking it before I eventually did. Especially as it was only three miles from my home, unfortunately it has been sold and I have had my last shoot there. September, Irida was in Birmingham and I managed to book a half day shoot with her at late notice due to me having a few medical problems that will need surgery eventually I could not commit to a date earlier. As she was only available during the afternoon I had to rethink the shoot I planned as I always shoot in natural light as much as possible and make the most of the facilities at studio. Only one image shown here was flash used, in the bathroom at the end of the shoot. .

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.

A few images that I managed not to screw up completely
