North West Results Part 1

I had such a fun working trip up to the North West a couple of weeks ago, the 4 days of work were so enjoyable, due to all the people I met being absolute pleasures to work with and everything going so smoothly. The days were pretty full on, with a couple of extra last minute bookings in the evenings too, but being booked into a great value b&b I got to chill out and recharge after work. And weirdly, without a computer around I probably get more rest and sleep than I do when I'm at home! Have a nice shower, give myself a pedicure, watch tv in bed. So I actually really like my mini trips :-)

I have more images to post soon but here are some results from a full day modelling at Tally Ho Studio, based in Wigan, where I worked with two photographers in the morning, and a group of about 8 photographers in the afternoon. Everyone was really friendly and it was a fab, bubbly atmosphere. In the afternoon session, lighting set-ups were changed every hour, with the photographers taking 5-10 mins each to take turns in photographing with me 1-to-1. It kept everyone on their toes but wasn't so fast and fleeting that you couldn't build a decent raport with each other. I probably wouldn't like every one of my shoots to be that format, but for every now and again, I find that the fast pace can be quite energising, and enjoyed altering my expressions and accessories for each photographer so everyone got slightly different and unique images. Here are a selection of the range of the results! Some utterly brilliant shots, and so much variation from the photographers in their shooting style and editing. Thank you so much everyone for sharing your images with me and to Sharon for hosting the day :-)
More shots to share soon from my work at the awesome Hallam Mill Studio in Stockport as well as other stuff!

  1. Wow, those are really good photos.
    It's hard to believe they were done in such a short time.

  6. Great work as usual - and interesting to see the different styles throughout the set. I love the last shot but also the third-last one which reminds me of Steve McCurry's 'Afghan Girl' image.

  7. They are all beautiful but I love the monochrome retro Rob W ones. Are a secret time-traveller?

  8. Oops! I must learn to type properly - the last sentence should read : 'Are you a secret time-traveller?'
