More Alter Ego edits....

 Jody was a burlesque pin up babe. Shot indoors with two studio lights, one with soft box and one with diffused umbrella. 

Sarah posed with her Cello. Outdoors on a cloudy day. Off camera flash and a silver reflector was used to brighten her and the immediate surrounding.

 Stacey was inspired by CoCo Chanel. Her vintage look was complimented using vintage furniture indoors. A single off camera speedlight was used.

 Tina was a cowgirl. Shot on a very dull day using a silver reflector and natural daylight.

Emma was posing as a rock chic. Shot outdoors with the aid of a silver reflector to brighten up the shot.

Alter Ego added first edits.

Here are a few edits of a project I am working on. 
There are more to be added to my Flickr account and more individual portraits to come...

Nikki was inspired by Pocahontas. Shot outdoors using natural daylight and a silver reflector. 
The location was in Bedfordshire, the long dry grass was perfect for the climate feel.


Felicity is a pole dancer. This image was shot indoors in Northampton. I used studio lights, one with soft box and one bare. 


Christine played the Hollywood actress part. This image was inspired by the actress Ann Savage. 
Shot indoors in Olney near Milton Keynes. Using studio light with soft box.
