When Efflectum messaged me and we discussed our second shoot I was really looking forward to it. We were hoping to mix studio and location although the weather looked rather ominous. We had two outfits from a new Latex designer Black Sheep Latex Studio went well and luckily the weather held for a couple of locations literally two minutes from the studio. As usual Effectum was very organised and very capable with hair and Make-up. Banter flowed all day as we discussed music and the fashion industry. Plenty of fun and great results.
When it comes to doing something different then I am always up and eager. When messaging Effectum on Twitter we decided to work together. Being an Alternative Model she is far away from my usual subjects. We sorted our location and on meeting up walked to our chosen place which was a World War Two Machine Gun emplacement. We set about the grungy place with very low light but boosting ISO and relying on Image Stabiliser lens we got to task with some edgy images. Unfortunately we were plagued by passers-by and cut short our stay. Not being happy with the length of shoot we got in the car to search for another location. An Oilseed Rape field attracted us so we stopped. Even better was the abandoned shed with it's switches and cupboards. Happy there we moved to the field. Effectum and I were very happy with the outcome of our day and settled at a pub to review the unedited results. Efflectum was great to work with and very open to ideas adding her own pleasingly for a great shoot.
