Photoshoot: Tamara-Marie

Here, I present you with a shoot that had been a long, long time in the making! About a year and a half to be fairly precise!

Tamara-Marie and I had been discussing the prospect of a shoot since the early days of both our portfolios. Unfortunately, distance and other committments and the ilk frequently through a plethora of spanners, screwdrivers, hammers and anything else you can name into the works.

Eventually, we said enough was enough. We picked a few concepts, set a date and just went for it.

They say good things come to those who wait. This is certainly one instance where old adages prove theirselves with merit!

With but a handful of wigs and a few strong concepts, Tamara-Marie’s versatility and natural abilities really shone through throughout the shoot! In just three sets, we managed to get a wealth of variety and, in my opinion, some wonderfully graphic images. This, I gleefully admit, is all to the credit of such a wonderfully gifted and all over lovely model!

But of course, there is no proof in words, only in photos! Enjoy!

As always, thank you very kindly for your time! I do hope you enjoyed this set even half as much as I enjoyed making it!

Last Sunday, I started 2009 with a bang with my first TWO photo shoots of the year within the space of a few hours.

The first of these started with the lovely Rudigo.

Several months ago, I was contacted by this delightful model asking if I was interested in working with her when she started at a nearby university.

I was.

Beforehand, we had a good deal of communication and we had a clear idea of the results that we wanted. However, this certainly didn’t limit any spontaneity and we wound up shooting several productive sets with various ideas and concepts. For one set, we even Googled “How to make a newspaper sailor hat!”

Needless to say, this was an extremely fun and enjoyable shoot and a wonderful way to kick off my photographic New Year!
