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!!

 

 

4 Go Mad in Newcastle

Well Sunday saw the latest get together of erstwhile photographers Marc Melling, Stu Glen, Grahame Jenkins and little old me.  Banana Studio in Newcastle was the venue and we were very lucky to have a strong line up of models, some of who travelled from as far afield as Sheffield to be with us on the day.  Patrycja Firmanty and Karolina Hejnar were also there and did a fantastic job with the girl’s make up throughout the shoot.  Following conversations with some of the models I had a reasonable idea of what I wanted to shoot on the day, though as always things didn’t go exactly to plan and I found myself running out of time towards the end (sorry Georgia we had such a short time to shoot, promise I will put that right).  There was a  great atmosphere  throughout the day, with the usual cameraderie and banter between the togs  and everyone just mucked in and got the most from the day.  Massive thanks to all the girls: Danielle, Georgia, Jordan, Lizzie and Misha who were all a pleasure to work with, to Karolina and Patrycja for their expertise, to Eric at Banana Studio and last but not least to Grahame, Stu and Marc for their support and good humour.  Watch this space for more images.  Fancy another next month?? lol
