And then there were two...

As promised, here's the first of a lot of new blog posts full of pretty pictures and general modelling based news :)
I've decided to do them in the same order that I shot them, which means today you get the fabulous Claude Pierus and Katie Louise D.

Claude and I had been trying to work together for months but one thing after another seemed to get in the way. When we managed to secure a date, he asked if I'd mind half of the shoot being with the gorgeous Katie Louise D, a fantastic and bendy nude model based in London. I'd previously worked with Katie a long time ago and was thrilled to learn we'd be working together again, especially since I feel I've really progressed since we last met in terms of learning how to use my body and using it in the best way for me.

The shoot kicked off with Katie and I doing some duo work, which I thoroughy enjoyed. It's interesting to watch other people work, especially people who you admire and so getting to work with Katie was a pleasure. She's great fun, very bouncy and excitable and just so great to work with! We got some incredible shots, here are my favourites...

It's interesting to see the differences in our bodies, despite being the same height and a very similar build. It just goes to show how different women are when stripped down to our natural selves :)

After an hour or two of working with Katie I had my one to one time with Claude. Claude's great to work with - very easy to chat to and had me giggling - you can really tell in some of the later shots that I'm having a great time, I always seem to have a little tiny smile on my face!
There were a lot of shots from this session, so I'm just going to share my personal favourites. If you want to see more, you can see them at Claude's website

Sorry!

Readers, it would appear that I have neglected you! I got told off the other day by my boyfriend for being the kind of person who gives 100% for a day or two and then forgetting about it ('it' being anything from writing a blog, thinking about going on holiday, quitting smoking, saving money....) and not doing it.
So, I'm quitting smoking on Sunday (tomorrow - eek!), re-starting this blog today, have got a short trip to France in May to recharge my batteries and have already looked at budgetting to save money for bigger holidays later in the year!

On the blog note - I have some exciting things to share! Over the next week or so I'll be showing you some gorgeous images from a shoot with Claude Pierus (along with some duo modelling with Katie Louise D), some light and natural lifestyle from Andrew Appleton of Applephoto, incredibly wonderful styled images from Holly Cox  and a mix of fashion, beauty and nudes from Andy K Stratford and Harmony Summer.
I also have a wealth of gorgeous nudes to share with you from my week long trip to Spain with Greg Brown, John Evans and Ella Rose.
Unfortunately, I am on a train right now and have left my external harddrive at home so can't access them all, but here's a sneak peek of the images I got from Harmony.

Harmony is a young but fanstastic photographer based in Devon and Northampton (her time is split between the two) with a great eye for a photograph. I'll certainly be working with her again the next time she's in Northampton (as I also spend a lot of time there!)

The makeup was by Chloe Winters, a relatively new (and fabulous!) addition to the MUA world, very talented and great fun to work with. She's currently working on building up her portfolio and when she's got a portfolio page up and running, I'll be sure to link her!
I love this shot because it's so different for me. Beauty is a genre I've not played with much and so when Andy and Harmony asked what I'd like to do with them, my first response was beauty. Knowing we had a talented makeup artist on hand meant that I was confident we'd get some great, natural shots as well as some more styled ones later on.
I love the lighting in this shot, it subtly moves your eye right to the centre of the image without being too 'spotlight-y', which is nice.


I'll sign off now be assured that I *will* be updating again very shortly!
