1940’s Ava ~ with Jess Sage

These 12 pictures are part of a creative photoshoot event hosted by stylist Sue Fyfe Williams at Clifton Hill House in Bristol. My role at the shoot was to lead the photography team and be on hand to light each scene.

I broke up the light from the Lupolux LED 100 on full flood by shining it through a plastic palm tree that I had bought online last year. I’ve attached my palm tree to a lighting stand for ease of positioning.

This last frame entitled ‘Driving in my Car’ was a tableau I set up of our models from the shoot in a vintage Austin 12 car. This shot was an instant hit on social media networks last week. Models from left to right: Jess Sage, Roseanne Barrett, Claire Rammelkamp and Mina Renoir.

      Cheers Kevin, I wasn’t expecting the car shots to be the hit but that’s why feedback is so valuable.

      Haha, thanks for your kind comment Lee. I thought you already had an X-T1. Have a word with Kevin Mullins about the X-T1, he’s a documentalist too :) What’s stopping you lad? That car shot is in demand as a print.
