On Going Project

Here is the next installment of the continuing project I started last month with Sam Quinn (Images Here). This weeks features Mhairi @ Superior model management. The project started as a beauty study and an examination of how the model relates to his or her environment. The images will continue on the same theme and explore the possibility's of weaving the model with their surroundings. For now though have a happy viewing. Keep catching this post for more updates over the next few weeks.

Sam Quinn

A quick sneak peek at Mondays shoot with the fantastic Samantha Quinn. Huge congratulations on her engagement! Looking forward to seeing her in the studio again soon for some fun with bubbles! More from Mondays shoot coming soon.

Lern To Pleat/Braid

Everyday is a school day they say. And the other day was no exception! A life skill I somehow managed to make it to 30 without needing I have now mastered and am teaching on to others... Many thanks to Mhairi for her instruction and her therapeutic tearing of sheets. Am I good at braiding? Heck no! I dare say there are others more qualified to teach the intricacy's of pleating or braiding, but..... A lesson passed on with enthusiasm is a lesson worth having right?

More Images from this shoot coming soon

Retrospective

I'm using January as a month to look back over last years work, and with that comes a real feeling of achievement. A lot happened towards the end of 2009 and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been dropping by the blog and website, also to all of my clients form 2009. Its been a tough old year all round with redundancy's and new beginnings for many. I'm one of the privileged few that can say with no uncertainty that I'm doing what I want to be doing and enjoying every moment. So with that in mind what is my plan for 2010? Easy! 2010 is the year of competitions, publications and lots of other 'tions.
Starting the year off was an underwear shoot at the Malmaison Edinburgh for 'The Echo.' Then on to prepping for the first production meeting this month for POSED's 3rd edition. At the end of January is shooting for SAKS hairdressers Glasgow for competition entry portraits. January also sees the release of an advertising campaign shot at the end of last year for Colours Agency Glasgow. More on that soon.

2010 also sees the Launch of a new project of mine called 'The 50pence Portrait.' The website is on its way so I hope to see you all there soon!

Lisa Lewis

Here are the follow up photographs from yesterdays shoot. Featuring Miss Lisa Lewis (superior model management) and make up artist Miss Paulina Siembor

Back For 2010!

Back into the busy fray and hitting the ground running with 2 shoots in 2 days. This is an image from today's shoot (yesterdays was for a magazine so more to follow soon) with model Lisa Lewis and make up artist Paulina Siembor. Paulina is known for her bright and colourful make up artistry, (more images from this shoot to hit the blog soon, watch this space_______) and she didn't let us down today with rainbow lashes and ribbon taking center stage for most of today's shoot. However the image above is one from the end of the day after the make up was stripped back. Concentrating on a simple one light set up today the image is shot with a classic feel in mind. Lisa has a quality to her poses that really plays with the light that really got the most from the minimal feel of today's shoot.

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!!

For the keen eyed of you following my blog you may have noticed a lack of 'Photo of the Month' last month. There is a photo.... 3 in fact... They are coming.... Taken in December for Colours Modeling Agency they hit the streets in mid January along with a rather swish Video.... Its all happening!!!!

Have Yourself A Merry Little....

Keeping on the winter theme. A quick wee shoot in a snow covered park in West Lothian.

One from today

Today was a rushed visit to Glasgow's Contrast Studios to do 2 fashion shoots. The editing starts tomorrow of the rest of the 2 shoots we did today. But just like Christmas its nice to open one before bed! So even with the tight time limit in the studio we had time to squeeze in this image just for you at the end of the shoot. This is Miss Lisa Lewis currently celebrating her second week with agents Superior Model Management. All the best Lisa! Styling on this shot was done by Angela Corrigan.
Big thanks to the team today all of whom rocked the boat!

POSED magazine editorial shoot

Last June I was selected as a contributing photographer for a new Scottish fashion and photography publication. The magazine is split into two sections the first a 'MUSE' section where each of the photographers were asked to take photos of the first editions muse Stephanie (Superior Model Management) . The clothes were supplied by American Apparel and other than those two factors we had free reign to do as we pleased. The above shots are taken from the session with Stephanie, I was keen to do something a little different with the look of the images and played with a few ideas before opting for the above effect. Stephanie is a former Beauty Queen and I wanted to wrap these images up with a tie-in between her and the wardrobe selected for me. This of course came in the form of the American flag. Its existence in these images is to show the American influence over both our style and our now common place searches for beauty.

The second Section was the 'Quote' section. Again a very limited brief letting the involved photographers really run with their ideas. The above images are a set entitled 'The illusion of symmetry' Its focus is on the imperfect nature of both body and textile. The Model Mhairi (Superior Model Management) was asked to keep as straight as possible to allow this effect to work. The Images range from fun, to unusual, to uncomfortable. The body seems almost contorted in some, but each image holds a quiet pulchritude thanks to Mhairi's hard work in front of the lens.

LOADS OF PHOTOS!!!

With POSED Magazine on its way this month we are all very excited to see the first issue. Shooting (for me at least) started for the second issue on Sunday so I thought I'd use this as a good excuse to pop up a few links and say a few thanks.
HUGE team on Sunday so a quick shout out to them all. The 3 models all from Superior Model Management did a grand job with new comer 16 year old Caron truly shining. The others did themselves and their Agency proud. Check them all out here: Caron, Ross D and Lauren.
Sam Morrison preformed her debut as stylist with grace and ease, showcasing some of this seasons hottest 'Knits and Winter Warmers'. Kat McSwean painted faces and curled eye lashes with her normal wit and good banter (quality job on the eye dots...) and Saks Sarah Graham-Mccombe rokin the hair and styling. Huge thanks to Karen my assistant for the day and all the others that put the effort in.

Its Raining Its Pouring

Two from the weekends shoots. Mhairi braved the cold and rain and even a few on lookers to get these shots in a field on the outskirts of the City. Make up: Jak Morgan, stylist: Sam Morrison, Model: Mhairi (Superior Model Managment)
