Miss Hayley Buchanan Test Shoot

Test Shoot. Definition: A Test Shoot is when a photographer wants to try out a new creative idea, test some new equipment or film, wants to build their portfolio or just wants to plain practice... As you can see from above the images don't necessarily have to run in a pictorial/editorial style or story.

On this test I was lucky enough to be working with the fantastic Hayley Buchanan of ModelTeam. Hayley was the 'Peoples Choice' in 2009s Britain's Next Top Model, and from anyone who has ever had an email from me she is the model from my signature pictures.

Make Up: Kat McSwein @ Colours

New Blog!!!

So today is the first day of the blog. I hope to be posting as often as I can with some background to my shoots and work.

So to kick things off, here are a few of the images I've been playing with this week.....



This is Ashley Brown of Britain's Next Top Model fame. Ashley went further in the 2009 competition than any other Scottish competitor making it to the final 4. These shots were taken for her portfolio this month. With all the work she did on the show can you believe they didn't do a single head shot? The shoot was a hoot and Ashley is all you expect her to be.
