Elle in Littlehampton

 










The day was incredibly hot. Having arrived early the café was closed and so was the nearby snack van, crazy. Elle arrived and we had a brief chat and got on with our shoot. The first part, as arranged was dance orientated. Despite the café being closed it did make a great backdrop. Even though it was early evening the light was very strong and direct which makes for tricky exposure with the camera. We moved on to the amphitheatre for some drama and a few jump shots. Elle being a dancer knew exactly what to do. What I like about dance shots outside is the lack of restriction with regard to space. It was then to the beach and try to avoid the crowds still there. We managed well with some atmospheric shots with which I created interesting Black and White images.

Elesha: Tangled

 




























When it comes to doing something different, then I am at the front of the queue. I wanted to get away from standard fashion. With Elesha coming and the added bonus of a Makeup Artist: Lauren it was going to be an interesting departure. I wanted to use props and came up with two ideas. 1. A Rope. 2. Barbed Wire. Don't worry the Barbed Wire was made of leather. The combination of the wire and SFX Makeup was definitely a departure from the norm. The girls had not met each other before but both are great friends of mine. We had a blast.
