Sometimes it's not the obvious

This was taken at an outdoor shoot recently. I really didn't think of using B&W on such a colourful model, but it seemed to work better than the original which I was not so excited about.

Lighting was 2 flash heads on a Triflash holder with an umbrella as key (camera right) and single bare flash camera left set about 1 stop under for fill.
Model: Melaney `Bubblefaery' Carey.

60' Style Shoot

These were taken last month at a 60's-style shoot. It's been a bit manic lately so I'm a bit behind. The scooters belonged to the Bristol Scooter club. Rge models were Helen Drew and Cerise Banwell.

Daylight Fireworks @ Louisiana, Bristol

Once again I had the pleasure of shooting indie band Daylight Fireworks where they headlined at the Louisiana.

Daylight Fireworks

I had an idea for a location for a band shoot, using the remains of the Aust ferry port, the Severn Crossing and surrounding beach for a band shoot for indie group the Daylight Fireworks. Once again the weather was in my favour, but the lighting was really harsh and challenging for my poor strobes. I was forced to used two bare strobes on a Triflash holder for key. Some later shots had a 2nd flash as fill or back light.
