Prada

After photographing translucent bottles recently for an advertising brief, I have played with this proffered Prada bottle image. The first is not as tidy as the one below. I have played with the contrast of close up and distance within the ad. Thanks to Lee from a shoot last year and Caitlin a couple of weeks ago. Looking fairly fresh still Lee!

Woodland Wonder.





This was the third attempt to shoot this series of images due to the lack of sunshine recently during the weekends. We had a small window on Saturday morning before the clouds filled the sky! Very lucky and a very smooth shoot indeed. Jenny and Hannah posed in very little in the cold, well done girls and a huge thank you again. All images were lit with the sun, aided with a few clever angles of a silver reflector, thanks my excellent assistant Mhairi.

A little practice with water and light gels in the studio today. A very simple ad; one still shot taken with three layered gels on a softbox underneath a fish tank. A little bit of splish splash and lights from above.

Floral collage.

Caitlin models for another floral collage.
Shannon models one of three images in the series. All images follow the brief; floral, feminine and soft. Saturated colour to create pastels that are warm and delicate.  Image style to suit Karen Millen clothing.

Both Shannon and Caitlin posed for a few varied styles a couple of weeks ago. They met for the first time and were fantastic together. Styled by Cat Johnson in these pictures, more to come from the gorgeous due. Well done girls.
