Chai in the Great Outdoors

Location set and times organised it was going to be great working with Chai in location that is until Mr Johnnie Depp got in the way. It was clear from the website that Waverley Abbey was open on the day we planned rather than closed for filming of Out of the Wood.

Having arrived it was clear that our shoot would be very limited due to all the fenced off areas (the best parts) and there were film rigs everywhere. We decided to make the best of it and Chai true to her usual self was beautiful. We used walls and trees careful to avoid all the ugly vehicles and scaffolding.

Our next location was a woodland and strangely I got it wrong and we went to the wrong place. This turned out to be a bonus as the dramatic trees and light really created a great backdrop and atmosphere. Thanks to Ryan with reflector and the ability to carry Chai to save her heels we had a great shoot and retired for lunch at a local pub.

Chai! Jewellery and Hair

Chai was lovely to work with but was not expecting her return so early. Only ten days later she was back in studio. This time she brought her jewellery range and a lovely Hair Stylist called Hollie Milnes. We got into the swing quickly. The vibrant colours of the pieces needed careful framing. As a team we worked very well and achieved something very different as you can see. In such a short time I could see the gain in confidence in Chai. Images whether High-Key or Moody and Shadowy the atmosphere felt right.
