Nicola & Tom

So a new year and I needed to get back to some photography.  I have to say I have learnt some valuable lessons along the way on who to work with. I put this down to my lack of experience at the time and  let's just same it won't happen again !

So, I was now looking for some new models.  I did put a casting call out on Model Mayhem but really wasn't successful.  The people who, did respond were not what I was looking for.  I was even beginning to, start stalking people in the supermarket ! Step forward my lovely friend Penny with a name of someone who worked for the same company who might be interested.  thank you so much Penny for introducing me  Nicola.  we arranged to meet at work for a chat, and I wasn't disappointed, Nicola was absolutely gorgeous, and just what I was looking for.  At the same time I was in contact with my lovely friend and fellow photographer Richard Danter who I had worked with before, we kept saying we wanted to work together again and it was a chance for him to see my studio and also for me to tap into some of his great knowledge and experience.  A few hiccups there though, my stupid studio lights were playing up and misfiring and we were getting random meter readings which was very strange...thankfully the weather was lovely outside so we took advantage of that too.

A lovely couple to photograph ...

We had a great afternoon and the bonus being Nicola bought her equally lovely boyfriend Tom along who was not only very photogenic but tall enough to hold the reflector for us !

Call me a bit strange but I love the 'behind the scenes' shots too ...

Thank you to both Nicola and Tom and of course Richard for driving up from Hampshire !
