Sybarite (nude)

These shots are from a recent shoot with India, taken just before she moved back to Poland from Aberdeen. All are daylight, with the exception of Eidolon - which is a single-exposure, move-the-model shot, lit with an incandescent modelling light and a torch. I recently discovered the work of Alexey Titarenko - truly outstanding stuff, so I keep trying to think of ways to add movement to my images.

Hexed

Last Saturday I attended a workshop run by Scott Church at The Roost in London. I met a lot of great people and shot some interesting images (shown below).

Another shoot with the infrared Nikon D100, and the strongest case yet of the blue hair effect. The camera is fitted with an internal infrared filter that isn’t 100% opaque to visible light, so although it’s now primarily a monochrome camera, occasionally a little colour creeps through. Usually it’s subtle, but this time it was a little more vivid.

Drapery

You could say that this was one of those images that nearly didn’t happen. I last worked with Lelly 6 months ago during her pregnancy - you’ll find the image we took then, Mother and Daughter, in the Pregnancy gallery - and I’ve been meaning to shoot her again ever since.

Frills

Dee wanted some pictures in her new corset, and asked me to shoot them. So for her first time as a model she not only had to deal with my long-exposure shots and cramp-inducing poses, but had to do so in a corset and heels. Thankfully she survived, and with these results. I think they may have surprised a few people.

Persona Grata (nude)

As a result of Kodak’s decision to discontinue HIE High Speed Infrared film, I finally decided to have my Nikon D100 modified to make it a full-time infrared camera. The results are very different to those that I’m used to getting with the infrared film, but I’m really having a lot of fun with it. These shots of Denise are from my first studio shoot after the conversion.
