Raphaella The Female Form

Just enjoy the shape and form of Raphaella. The final set of an amazing day where I had the freedom to work with someone fantastic.

Raphaella With Love! The Deserted Chapel

Often the best images come from spontaneity and it was very much the case here! I had been working with the wonderful Raphaella and we settled to have lunch. It was during our break that she asked if there were any locations nearby. Being put on the spot only one location came to mind that would really work. It is a deserted chapel in West Sussex I had been to before and a short drive away. Off we went. Now we are talking late January so doing nude work was going to be hard on Raphaella so we had to work quickly. This was not a problem. Thank goodness for Image Stabilisers in lenses as light was not great. Up on walls and window sills as well as the ground inside and out of the chapel. There was a real radiance and and bold mood one moment melting into soft and classic the next. Special is not the word. I hope Raphaella is as proud of the images as I am.

Among Scarves and Drapes

Improvisation is how I love to work and being able to work like this with Raphaella and her spontaneity we leapt forwards using scarves, fabric and netting. Beautiful shapes and  mood was created and just flowed. The day continued in a very creative vein with exciting image after image interspersed with humour fun and for me cups of tea. Nothing can be emphasized more clearly than working with Raphaelle is a complete joy. See her work with other photographers Raphaella With Love More to come folks.
