Hamdir and the Gunpowder Mill

Having found a great location it was all about using the right model and it was a no contest situation with Hamdir. The Gunpowder Mills have lain unused since the Napoleonic Wars. The nature in the area is very diverse as is the workings of the Mill. The river running through was the reason for the location in order to use the water power. It was great having a catch-up with Hamdir and work together. The highlight was the Mill buildings which are interesting and dramatic to use. With the latex and leather shoulder pads it fitted so well. This along with Hamdir's adventurous nature including climbing in heels we certainly got plenty of drama into the images. There is more to explore there so maybe we will return. Just enjoy.

Hannah: A Little Bit of Retro

Having talked for quite a while about recreating the mood of Forties and Fifties actresses we organised our shoot, We did not want to copy any particular actresses look but use Hannah to give that feel. We set about our task working with a variety of lighting setups and by ringing the changes and using mainly one light we got well into our task. As an actress and loving all the classic Hollywood era Hannah was great and the mood suited her perfectly. A touch of Retro with a modern twist at times created a really pleasing result,
