8.52 FLY53 SS15 Shoot Manchester

Last Thursday we hit the Northern Quarter in Manchester armed with a selection of FLY53’s finest threads, two of Boss Model Managements most beautiful models, the kick ass Gillon Sisters styling duo, Carly Celeste Hunt MUA , the unstoppable Dervin-Page Creative team, a couple of plants from IKEA and a shoot and run attitude we managed to smash this shoot out and have everyone home by 3pm. I’d like to tell you it was hard work, but it wasn’t our killer team made everything run like clock work (but a bit faster) and the result? Have a look.

Mocks Autumn Winter Adventures

Autumn is here, the leaves are changing from luscious greens to vibrant yellows, oranges and reds, the floor has begun to collect a crispy brown layer of leaves, making walk through the park on a clear brisk morning that little bit more exciting. Our wardrobes are changing too, out with the bright summer colours and in with the warm Autumnal tones. Hell I’ve even bought a new seasonal throw for the sofa! So the time has come for the fashion conscious chicas at Mocks to get there autumn frocks on and go for a frollick in the great out doors… Well the local park and my over grown forest like back garden. This is what is looked like….

Mocks British Summer Adventure....

The Summers nearly over, so I thought I best quickly get this blog up of the fun packed shoot I did recently with the trendy Mocks lot in North Wales. We were forecast some typical British Summer weather; Biblical rain fall, 20 mph winds, occasionally interrupted by a blazing hot spell of sunshine and we got it, right in the chops!

 When Mocks asked me to create their summer campaign, I thought, "What would I like to do on a summer holiday with my mates?" The answer; Camping, camper vans, frollicks on the beach, some bike riding on the beach while dragging some balloons around in a gale force winds? (not advised), checking out the amusements and all the other stuff I wasn’t allowed to take photos of.

 We had a wicked team, well when I say team it was a small army of us  (13) over a 2 day shoot. I booked us into some ‘top class’ apartments at my own childhood holiday home where dreams were made... Pontins, thinking we’d be living it up (mistake) after about 2 minutes Cat, Alex, Nicki, Rachele, Roberta, Keith and Kit quickly exited our spacious apartments and made for the nearest hotel. While in the Pontins Camp; Roy, Francesca, Vaal, Nicola, Matt and Me kicked back in our luxury bunk beds, nestling into our paper thin bedding and scoffing at the loons that had left this paradise for 4 star service, private rooms and plush carpets in the hotel over the road.

American Freshman Shoot.

A few months ago I had the pleasure of shooting the beautiful Bethany Riley and Bronte Sumners of Boss Model Management for an American Freshman campaign. It had been throwing it down for bloody ages and ages before the shoot, typical Manchester weather, but we had to trust the weather report (risky!) and get ourselves out there! Thank goodness the sun stayed out for the whole shoot. A big THANK YOU to my wonderful team and apologies it's taken so long for this post! It's been a hectic few months since then. ;) x
