Guys Cliffe - Art Nude Amongst The Ruins

Guys Cliffe, near Warwick is a venue I always fancied shooting at, thinking that it was a little remote to get there, but after checking it was only a mile or so from the nearest train station I booked a spot at an event organised by Nicole Rayner which was split into half day shoots over a weekend. The building itself is a semi derelict stately home which has become a regular spot for organised photographic shoots, Nicole's was focusing on art nude with three other models who excel in the genre, Ivory Flame, Rachelle Summers and Ayla Rose.
There were eight photographers initially split into pairs working with a individual model for two sessions of fifty minutes each, a shorter session of 25 minutes with the two other models you had not worked with earlier and final short group shoot with the all the models. Rather than have a free for all at the end the photographers as a group to set our own individual shots and split up the time to do so, which worked out very well in my own set. Images 1-3 Nicole Rayner, 4-6 Ayla Rose, 7-9 Ivory Flame and Rachelle Summers, 10 & 11 all four models.

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.

Snowing; Time To Edit

As everywhere else in the country it is snowing  very heavily in Birmingham, apart from not having much milk and no bread there is no reason to leave the house. So its time finish off my edits for the models from last shoots of this year.

End Of The Year

This year has seen the revival of this blog and me making the most of the excellent Summer weather by using the parks and nature reserves near by. In no particular order are some of my favourites of the year.
