So I had the privilege to work with Stylist Rachel Rodgers on a shoot for Notion online last month and we got to play around with colours as well as various locations.  Not to mention that her friend let us borrow her amazing pink car that was the foundation of the shoot.
I am very pleased with the outcome and had a great day shooting with the team.  You can check the editorial out at:

Josef.
I met him randomly on another shoot and he asked me if I wanted to take some portraits of him for his single.  Check out his music at http://www.josefsalvat.com/

We met on a cold cloudy day, he made me coffee and fed me some of his boyfriends home made cake, it was lovely !  This is what came out and I think they are wonderful.

The first set was taken with ORWO 120 BW film ISO 80 and pushed to 200, the effect is reminiscent of vintage style portraits.

Near the end of shooting I ran out of this film and had to switch to KODAK TRI-X 400 BW, I am very pleased with these as well.

Here I got to work with stylist Alexandra Moonage www.moon-age.net testing model Johanna Dahl at FM model agency and Danille/Nicole Kahlani www.technicolorlondon.com.  It was cold, rainy, dark, but we seemed to pull off and come out with some great images.

The styling is designed to outline the contours of the body or that show off the body through their sheerness with nude/beige colours for the skin.  Ex) Ballet Dancer Costume.

We also wanted to explore the dichotomy of strength and fragility within the body eg. ballet dancers are robust and have magnificent control of their bodies however they are straining themselves at the same time and prone to serious injury eg. damaging and bruising their feet.

The inspiration came from Pina Bausch,
her ethereal beauty, elegance, strength, vulnerability and rawness portrayed through movement taken in and around the overgrown pathways and urban landscape of London (as one big theatre).

Toma (analogue)

As much as I like digital, I love analogue!  Here are the analogue images from the same shoot.

Toma

I am finally getting the chance to post the images from a test shoot I did last month with Toma (nevs agency).  She was so lovely to work with and exudes such natural beauty that it felt impossible to get it wrong.  I really love these images of her alongside working with a great team.  MUA: Danielle and Nicole Technicolor www.technicolorlondon.com.  I'm going to post two sets of images, digital and analogue...these ones are digital!

Polaroids

I had to chance to take some polaroids of the shoot last week with Janie and they turned out lovely!  Stillness, light, sex, beauty.  She's got it.
