Well it was a cloudy, perhaps a little muggy day but I had the 300 ml lens out and wanted to focus on depth of field and perhaps create an atmospheric feel to a somewhat dull day. It will not be long before I leave these shores for adventures far away so now is the time to get my equipment together. I have to admit that I love a bit of tulle so will no doubt be channelling this look very soon.

After a very icy start to the week, I headed into the studio again with my model Lily who has been an absolute star. The clothes were found from the Betty Smithers Collection at Staffordshire University with the help from the lovely Caroline. I wanted a strong print and striking pieces which I knew I would find in the colllection. I think I could lose myself in the Betty Smithers collection daily!

As lights were booked out I used the Quads and one of the Broncolor lights which with the help from Mike @mikegouldphotography we managed to get synced.

A lot of fun in the studio working with new lights and the lovely Lola. I wanted to take some of my previous work to a new level with a more fine art feel. I am starting to lean towards this way of shooting creating a narrative incorporating new fashion trends and styles. I am attracted to performance and perhaps vintage.
