On the 9th of February I shot with David for two hours.

Here he is taking a photograph of Emma and Wil just after we had finished the shoot. :)

David was lovely to work with and a very interesting person. He only had a handful of slides with him so the shoot was very laid back. David shot on film- large format. I always love the buzz of shooting using film- even on the glassy end of the camera. It’s so different but I’m always terrified I’m going to blink and ruin the shot! Haha.

I don’t have the results to share but I hope the shot of Emma and Wil might surface one day perhaps :)

After the shoot Emma needed to go out and get some hair dye before we headed off to Bruge for two days- my first modelling trip abroad! 

We had a bit of retail therapy while out (I think Wil though I had abducted Emma we were out for so long!) It was really nice to be out somewhere different and of course with Emma- the shopping was good too ;)

In the lift!

Emma bought some funky shoes!

When we got back we decided we would go out bowling. I have not been bowling for years and have terrible childhood memories of it-! But they persuaded me and it was great fun- the lanes were all glowing too and my converse looked great! :D

A few hours later, lots of crazy conversations with American folk and with lots of junk food consumed it was time to head home and pack to get ready for our trip away the next day!! :D

On the way up to Emma’s I dropped in to work with Neil for two hours. He had applied to my casting over on PurplePort a few weeks ago.

On arrival I was welcomed by some delicious refreshing lemon pop and Neil’s cat Neo also said hello to me! I am sure he was trying to distract me all throughout the shoot, such a cute cat and SO soft! :D

Neil was lovely to work with, very kind, courteous and fun. The two hours went very fast!

We worked our way through some portraits and lingerie work. I was the first professional model Neil had booked so I hoped he would enjoy the shoot :)

Here are the images:

Thank you Neil :)

I was at Emma’s about an hour later, we all ordered a pizza (mmmm) each and sat and watched a movie! :)

Today I was shooting with Ade all day.

I came to Wales with three very specific ideas in mind. I wanted Ade to make me Artemis, something I have wanted to do for years and I think he was the perfect man for the job!

Loads of emails, drawings and ideas were exchanged and I was really looking forward to it.

The second was a vampire kind of thing and the third something Army esque… anything else would be a bonus.

Here are the images!

Rawwr!

Artemis…

Army shots…

Elf shots…

And some nudes…

It was a great day and we fitted a huge amount it- without pushing it! Very productive and I am really happy with the shots- great variety and had good fun creating them :) Thank you Ade! 

The next morning it was gorgeous- the sun was shining and it really could have been a summers day! Typical it was the day I was heading home as doing some location work would have been magical- maybe another day! :)

Ade’s cat was enjoying the sunshine!

The journey home was long but it was lovely to drive with the windows down and the sun beaming through- shame the weather was so cold while I was working-! Could have done with the sun all week!! Typical ;) 

Another tour done, already looking forward to the next one.

Thank you to everyone I worked with and met! :)
