The first three are from a shoot I did for stylists at George's hair salon for competitions they were entering. I'm quite happy to say that the third shot has been selected to go through to the final.
I've really begun to enjoy doing this kind of work and is certainly an area where I am slowly but surely building up a network of contacts. Also the majority of the work is coming from word of mouth as people are recommending me, which is always good.
I shot these using a 50mm prime lens and a pair of Bowens heads. One was fitted with a large softbox for a nice spread of light and the other was fitted with a honeycomb grid that I used as a key light for the hair.
On reflection I think that when I do this kind of work again I will use a smaller aperture and also shoot with a longer focus of around 100mil or above to get more detail in to the shots.
This next shot is from a collaboration with Lara Giffard who is a make up student I have begun to work with quite a lot. It's based on the idea of Candy and is heavily influenced by the recent Victorias Secrets Autumn/ Winter catwalk show.
The venue for the shoot was the Americandi store in the High Cross, and had to be arranged out of trading hours. The shoot was an interesting one to say the least as we only had 40 minutes on site and so had to be pretty quick about turning shots around.
I decided to try and light the shoot with just one Bowens head and a reflective brolly as it would save me more time to turn shots around. Although it was quite a high intensity shoot I'm quite happy with the results I got and feel that this one is by far the stand out shot.
