Zsani in Brighton Part One

Going back to old stomping grounds is always an interesting project and having the right person is the key. Spending a whole day shooting on location with one person means choosing the right one. Zsani is perfect, because we talk about so many things. So first stop in Brighton was Devil's Dyke. The sky was full of Para Gliders, so we explored elsewhere to start with. It was empty of people just seconds away from the Car Park. The sun was not too bright and therefore perfect for people photography.

 

Maryna: Bridge and Beach

I had a task for a competition of "Bridges". Round my area there are not many interesting bridges. I decided Stopham Bridge near Pulborough was the pick of the bunch. I next looked for a model as bridges on their own are not very interesting. Maryna had always looked great for location photography and we decided on a cold day in January. Rather than just the bridge I decided to shoot a second location, Littlehampton on the coast. Such an interesting day talking to Maryna, who is Ukrainian. The bridge shots were tricky with the low sun. I used my big Canon camera which was not ideal for practical reasons as it is too heavy. We warmed up with a coffee in a close by pub before moving off to Littlehampton. There was more wind on the coast but we weren't deterred. Maryna had never eaten Fish and Chips, so it was a proper English experience with fresh caught fish at a classic Fish and Chip Shop with sit down tables, super. We wandered the closed amusement park as well as the beach for some atmospheric location shots. Enjoy.
