I had a totally brilliant afternoon today.

The beautiful friend of another photographer came round for a shoot – I’d wanted to photograph her since I first saw pictures of her. She has the most gorgeous dark eyes, long dark hair (dyed a dark, deep red), wonderful curvy pin-up figure and a totally delicious smile.

She arrived, we chilled for a few minutes and talked then looked through her wardrobe – an all-in-one bathing suit, long red robe, dresses, jeans, heels and scarves, all 50s pin-up style. We decided to start with the bathing suit, robe and black heels, and she looked wonderful as a glamorous 50s bathing beauty. We got some great shots of her in top, scarf and pedal-pusher jeans, and in a white shirt, leggings, tie and my black fedora. And she looked fantastic. Very sexy, very cute and totally gorgeous.

So Lady Snowblood, you are welcome back any time. You have wonderful eyes, a great look and on camera, you look fabulous.

And she’s a lovely lady too. And great fun to work with and spend time with.

In July last year, I had a photo shoot with a lovely lady called Billie.

I had only been photographing models since May 6th and, even though we had a really great shoot, I don’t think I did her beauty justice. She was my 10th model, it was my 16th shoot, and I was still finding my feet with lights, poses, the camera and was still in that beginning stage of sheer stress that I still wasn’t sure I knew what I was doing.

Well, 10 months later, I was lucky enough to do another shoot with her. This was my 88th shoot and I have learned so much between our first shoot and this one.

We spent several hours together, talking, shooting, relaxing. She wore some great outfits, tight slinky jeans, a beautiful strapless denim dress and an absolutely stunning gold corset. She’s let her hair go back to its natural beautiful deep red, has incredible pouty lips that would make Angelina Jolie jealous and with the corset wrapped round her gorgeous curvy figure and some gentle lighting and a dark background, I think we may have created an amazing photograph, in fact a whole amazing set.
