Olivia and The Rolling Stones










































Ideas, plans? These are great but putting them into action takes time. I wanted to find some old Vogue covers so I went searching in local charity shops particularly Oxfam Books. This proved to be a fruitless task but there on a shelf was a very interesting alternative; a photo book of classic Rolling Stones images. Having purchased this for £3.99 I sorted with the wonderful Olivia Harriet a date to shoot. Taking the book apart and selecting the pages took some considerable time. I opted for all Black and White images as they so much more impact. Putting all the pages together was the next task as I felt there needed to be a conscious flow. The following morning Olivia arrived and her being a rock fan she was very keen to get started. Working with Olivia had been great in Brighton for our first shoot so I was confident it would be a success. Changes in lighting, outfits and props ensured an interesting array of diversified images which created a mix of retro and contemporary moods. 
Part 2 of our shoot to come later.

Elesha in Vinyl Demand

















I always enjoy shoots at short notice and when Elesha contacting me I really thought it would be great. Our first shoot produced so many successful images. When you have a popular and talented model to work with it is really important to go with something different. So I raided my vinyl collection to create an interesting backdrop. Picking out some classics and those with colour I strung them up like some of the independent record shops in the past. The funky vinyl appealed to Elesha when she arrived and she had a couple of great outfits to compliment the idea. As before we chatted and laughed though-out our shoot. When you form an understanding photographer-model then apart from tiny details we both get on with our jobs and there is not the stop/start which disrupts. As before our second shoot just flowed. A second instalment of this shoot will follow with the lovely and talented Elesha in a slightly different guise.
