Introducing Alex .....

I really didn't expect much contact from the Model Mayhem website, so when Alex (a fitness model) contacted me asking if I would like to add to my portfolio I just couldn't refuse !

Meet Alex .....

I had already been speaking with my lovely and very talented friend Richard about working together again, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity as neither of us had worked with a 'fitness model' before. 

So, the 18th February arrived and I was back moving the furniture out of the lounge and setting the studio gear up.  It's times like this that I actually wish I had my own studio !  Richard arrived nice and early on Saturday morning (thankfully his drive up from Waterlooville in Hampshire was pretty good) and this gave us an opportunity to have a coffee and catch up which was great. 

Alex arrived around 1.30 and in the nicest possible way 'got his kit off' ...sorry but I just couldn't think of a better way to put that !!  Both Richard and I managed to get some great shots of Alex who I have to say was a pleasure to work with...such a lovely guy ! 


It was great working with Richard as he let me try out his very expensive Canon 70 -200 mm L lens which I have to say was much too heavy for me ...but the 24 - 105 mm lens was really nice and I loved the results.

I even managed to get a sneaky photo with Alex who must have thought I was a complete fruitcake !  Well sometimes you have just got to do it ...and no, I didn't touch the abs, but I was tempted !



This is probably going to be my last blog...something is missing on the photography side, not sure what, but if I find it I will be back.

Thanks for stopping by.
