Last Friday saw us hit the beach for our day course "Lifestyle at the Beach."Unlike last year the weather was amazing this time and we all had a great time on the sands.Thank you to everyone that made it down to the studio for the day.We left the studio early and headed for the beach to get shooting! Starting off with Anna and her beauitful kids, Scarlet & Dan. We looked at using reflectors, sun as a reflective light, using shade, on camera high speed flash. We then did a few images using Radio triggers and our Elinchrom kit with soft box. We then headed off into town for a great lunch. After lunch we photographed the very patient and beuatiful Imogen, using off camera flash we photographed her around the dunes & pier finishing off with Esther & her beautiful kids , Holly & Ella - ( a lot of beautiful people on one beach!!)

Here are a few images from the day.

WARNING ( Long blog post!! ) But worth it!

What a fantastic time we all had a week ago now in the woods in York. Thank you to all of the photographers that signed up for the course and made it down to the campsite in the woods. We had long been planning this course down to the hair & make up, outfits, props, lighting,  shot ideas & location. It was a fantastic success in all aspects of what we did. Thanks to The Flash Centre in Leeds for supplying us with all the equipment that we didn't have already. A big thanks to the girls from Love Miss Daisy for the amazing vintage clothes. A huge thank you to our models Natasha & Rosie for doing an excellent job. To Ali for bringing down her boys and to Jolly days camp site and for letting us shoot their kids also. Thanks to Jodi Spice & Zan Atkinson respectively for make up & hair, a wonderful job as usual!

Also a big thank you to my team for feeding all of us, and for keeping us warm!

We are in the process of organizing another course due to very popular demand, if you are interested then please drop us an email HERE to tell us of your interest. Due to the overwhelming response we are pretty sure it will fill up very fast. Here are some images from the 2 day course.
