Marlyn and the Derelict Miscellany

I had been planning a shoot at the old Brickworks since the spring and plans had fallen through each time. So a date for the shoot was set with the very talented Marlyn Woodend. We were both very excited as this would be our first location shoot together. As usual Marlyn's hair was very different. The location lends itself to so much and has the scope for further shoots. Marlyn is one of those models who has instinctive creativity which I love. The mess, the dereliction, the graffiti all added to the atmosphere making some great images.

In Short! Rehea

Rehea is just wonderful to get along with and we were just wanting to finish things from a previous shoot. The secret to a good model is the ability to be creative and yet also take direction. This Rehea is able to do with ease. As usual there was a flow to everything. What amazed me was watching Rehea on television where the photographer obviously no idea how to go about using Reheas instinctiveness. Thank you Rehea.

Monika The Woodland Wander

In between the studio shoots the glorious late October weather lured us outside to Ashen Copse. Monika is obviously an outdoor person and revelled in the warm sunshine and lovely trees. It is always a sense of enthusiasm that grabs me for location shoots and Monika loved the natural surroundings of this ancient woodland. At no time did it feel like we would run short of ideas as we wandered and stopped. Results speak for themselves.

Missing Andy: Made in England

It really is about time that music got back to it's roots and bands played their own music and live gigs were electric, raw and not full of gimmicks. Bring on Missing Andy. Original? Yes. Great song-writing? Of course. Hardworking? You'd better believe it. So why aren't they the biggest band around? Because you have not put them there yet. Go for it! Touring near you soon I am sure.

Ellie in the Great Outdoors

Weather looked like it would be kind and the so energetic and effervescent personality of Ellie came over in the lovely location of Winterfold. Trees, leaves and light all added to a varied location shoot. It was also time for Ellie and I to get to know each other. The conditions were not perfect and not being perturbed or put off Ellie came flying though. Styling was Ellie's combined with coat and jacket courtesy of "Labels of Cranleigh".
