Constance Moscrop Portfolio Shoot

This weekend i have been shooting for a close friends portfolio. She wanted standard fashion shots but I wanted to add my style and my look to it.

I loved the top with detail around the neck line, it was my favourite piece because of the vintage look.

I used my 175cm octabox high and to the right of the model, this caused perfect amount of light and shadows for the photos.

She is one of the best models I've had the pleasure to work with because she understands what she wants and how to pose herself. The posing she had and brought to the table was second to none and overall looked amazing. I don't really understand why she has waited this long to get a portfolio sorted because of the high standard of modelling she produces.

Fashion Studio Photoshoot

 For these pieces i have decided i need to shoot a lot more in studio based scenarios to get to grips with different lighting. I wanted to also experiment with motion and capturing it through out my shoot. I have been research capturing that one specific moment when everything is just perfect. Then as soon as i started shooting realising that having a good model is key. Bethany was perfect just as soon as the camera was on, she just knew exactly what i was after. It was such a fun shoot to do because of the quality of images i got.

Crown of Thornes Set

I shot these images for my first ever university project. I've never released them as a set, only as the final image.

The whole concept for these images were based around two main biblical stories, Adam and Eve, and Jesus nailed to the cross. The crown was to represent something bad that has happened and I wanted to change the perception of this 'bad thing' mad use it in a fashion shoot. The Adam and Eve side to it was the nakedness and free they were and to not have to worry about day to day stresses that most of us feel in the day and age. I wanted to create the illusions of the model not wearing clothes. To link back to the freedom, the posing is quite seductive and open, this exactly what I wanted to convey

Down By The Water

This is some old work I shot when I first got my canon 85mm 1.2. I had this image in my head of a girl down a stream with a nice dress on.

I wanted to shoot a girl with her hair flowing in the stream shot from above but it never happened. Instead I just shot a few pieces that I thought were nice.

I am still waiting for the hair in the stream shot to be done but I hope to have that shot soon because I really like working with this model and she definitely has the right look for it.

First Try At Food photography

I have never tried food photography before. I have seen and admired it but never cooked something lovely plated it up and photographed. So many people do it on social media like Instagram but I have never done it for Photoshoot. That may be a reason I've put it off for so long because of the excessive amount of food pictures that are the internet taken by cameras on phones.

This was for a university project and it was all to do with Great British food. This could be anything from Sunday roast to Victoria sponge cake. I love rustic food, a lot of roast meat and veg. It looks so appetising when it's all thrown into a tray, put in the oven and placed onto the dining table for everyone to tuck in.

I definitely wanted to shoot a joint of meat. For my first try I went with a red meat, specifically a rack of lamb. I love red meat cooked to about medium-rare and I thinks that's when it's most aesthetically pleasing with still abut of pink inside.

The concept was to show the food and too show something that was in the frame but on a wider view. So I was shooting on slate tile so I went to a slate mine and shot a whole stack of it so the colour tones would match in each photo. I think it works as a double page spread but I will try more options for a final.

Alex Butler Photoshoot

This was my first Photoshoot when I started this university course at Newcastle college. It was a few weeks In and I was approached by a band that I had heard through friends.
They wanted some new shots for their website and Facebook page.
It was a great shoot, the lads were amazing. Great banter and were up for anything.

I used the biggest soft box the uni had to offer, it's was about 150 x 100 rectangular soft box. This let me light the whole group and get they best soft light for my close ups.
