Georgia On My Mind

Georgia was one of the models at  our  group shoot at Banana Studio back in January.  It was a cracking day but in all the rushing around we found that we only had literally 10 minutes at the end of the session to shoot.  In that short time I knew she was someone I would really like to work with again and the images we got in that time confirmed that and I promised I would make the time up in the near future.  So last week we finally got together for a shoot and I travelled up from Darlington to Banana Studio in Newcastle for something that would hopefully last a little longer and work through a few ideas that we had talked about in the build up to the day.  Georgia wanted some really natural images for her model portfolio and when I saw the new graffiti wall at Banana Studio I knew I wanted to incorporate that into the shoot.  The shot we got from that part of the session has quickly become one of my all time favourites.  We were going for a bit of a Marilyn Monroe look in the last shot (well at least I was!! lol).  Big thanks to Georgia for the shoot, lovely girl, very easy to work with, and I’m sure you will agree has a great look.   Good luck in Miss Newcastle Georgia, sure you will do great!!

 

 

Alex and Debbie

Recently had the pleasure of working with 2 models from Boho Model Agency that I had worked with before on a few occasions – Alex Pratt and Debbie Ingram.  We had the whole day (well I’m slowing down in my old age!! lol) and we decided to split the day between shooting some portraits, headshots and B&W images here in Darlington then making the short trip up the A1 to Newcastle and shoot something a little more expansive at Banana Studio.  Debbie was taking a break from her studies at Edinburgh Uni whilst Alex was fresh from a successful stint at London Fashion Week where she came second in the Top Model UK Grand Final – way to go Alex 🙂   As always the girls were absolute stars, fun, creative but also a joy to work with.  Something we had chatted about for a while was a collage of images of the 2 girls together styled around Cheryl Cole’s look in the video “Promise This” which presented a few challenges in post but the final result was worth all the pain!!
