The 'Snook' herself

Lovely lovely Snooky of the Patricia Kind. My fellow photographer volunteered as model once again and undertook a series of shots for me that were both scary (situation wise) and yucky (scummy water with lots of junk floating around). So, watch this space for a series of shots with a taster for you here...

Georgie Georgie, pretty as pie

This is part of the same shoot weekend (with more to come!) and we had fun in a local forest, getting Georgie to pose admist trees and thorns and local walkers.

And a shot in the studio......(my first indoor one)

Charlotte

After a last minute decision to try and do a bit of shoot, we 'borrowed' Charlotte for the day who had previously modelled some masks for me for the RAF charity show. On a limited timescale, we ushered the poor girl into whatever clothes we had lying around and with no make-up or hair stylist around did a quick shoot in my tiny garden.
The main aim was to get a few shots of the new Venetian Metal filigree masks that had just arrived from Venice.

Family Christening

Bit of wedding photography

I love being able to get behind the scenes at weddings as a guest. The most fascinating people to take - not being offensive to the Bride & Groom of course, are the children. They are oblivious to having to pose and not having to put on their best face.

Garden Shoot with the Snooks

One lovely evening, I popped over for a little drink to see my friends, The Snooks. We had missed the barby, but instead got to play with our cameras and had my first introduction to 'the smoke bomb'. Brilliant addition to any outside photography session!

1st masquerade photoshoot in woods

Ok, so this shoot was done with the intention of taking some good mask shots for my new gallery section. I just used a 60mm macro lens on my Canon EOS 550D camera with no extra lighting or filters. These images haven't been edited in anyway so are exactly how I took them.

The lovely model you see is my photography friend's younger sister - who is tall, lithe and gets dragged into model whenever we need her.

Ok, so now the ones without the masks.
