Wiltshire and a little insanity

After the infamous curry made by Nedine, a most than hospitable hostess with a luxurious bed, I was more than ready for a day of Boudoir (and a sneaky bit of nudes).  The shoot took place in Nedine’s wonderful studio near the house, completely kitted out with heating, music, props, tables, sofas etc - It was the perfect place for a boudoir shoot.

I had been looking forward to having an MUA for weeks, and Vicky did not disappoint. The make-up from natural to boudoir was fabulous and her skills are extraordinary! What I was most pleased about was that the make-up was a very high quality, suited for shooting and also didn’t clog up my skin!  If anyone is looking for a reliable MUA then book her, you won’t be dissatisfied!

Anyway, enough blowing smoke and back to ME ME ME. After a bit of Boudoir,  I decided enough was enough, took off my kit and stormed to the nearby ruins of an old cottage. We were all fighting wind, rain and muddy fields but the images were completely worth it.

Here are some images from the days shooting:

I thought now would be appropriate to introduce the secrets of true insanity, and what better than a bundle of images, enjoy:

An industrial estate in Hatfield

To celebrate my 21^st birthday I travelled down to Hertfordshire with John to begin our road trip! We spent today doing art nudes on an industrial estate, which was a great location despite being interrupted by one of the employees- who actually needed to walk past the glass door far more often than I would have thought!

After a morning of posing, I was pleasantly surprised with a fully fledged chocolate cake. Here is a wonderful picture of me blowing out the candles (captured by Tony):

After a wonderful session with some brilliant Creatives John and I had a further 2 hour drive to the next location. Having both worked very hard, and driving on the endless motorway with aching backs and necks, we decided to indulge in the car masseuse- Takeitinturns.

Finally, we arrived at our destination and were welcomed to a warm house and delicious curry made by the brilliant Nedine- I’m still sweating from the chillies..........although the wine is definitely taking off the edge!

It’s been a long day and I’m now going to curl up and watch the rest of the film without being accused of acting antisocial, I’m blooding working John!!

Here are a few images John managed to edit specially for my blog :

Last but not least some out takes from the road:

Windy nudes

Driving to Beverley with the sun so strong it’s cooking me in the car, my prescription sunglasses on, and whilst I’m bobbing my head to Eminem I look around and think it’s going to be a warm training session. As I pull up and get out of my car a gush of icy wind nearly blows me into the parked car next to me (which I think was John’s so I didn’t panic too much) All of a sudden I’m freezing cold, fully clothed, and think ‘oh shit’.

Despite the devil inside telling me to get back in my car and pull off, I fight through the wind and make it into the studio. Seeing John after his holidays was wonderful, and even better after I found out he bought me the most beautiful present from Turkey:

 The morning treats didn’t stop there as he whips out not one, but TWO furry hot water bottles!  Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of this behind the scenes so it’s actually normal *sulks*

The training session was still brilliant, despite the gushing winds. There were times in the barn where the heaters were strategically placed around me so that I didn’t freeze my bits off completely, although it will take me another day to forgive John about the last session (in the fields fighting for my life, sort of)

What made up for it all was that I must have been offered a coat more than 20 times, and refills for my teddy hot water bottles were on hand before they’d gone luke warm! I met some lovely people and I can’t wait to have a peak at what they captured throughout the day. I am also pretty proud of the images John and I managed to get:

A few outtakes because my blog wouldn’t be the same without them:

Wonderful Training Weekend @ Dentons

After spending all weekend with the wonderful Denton’s at one of their training days, I can safely say I have officially stopped pestering all the photographers for images, and I can start to put a HUGE blog together with what I think are the best bits!

First of all I have a lovely image that John and I captured out in a (VERY MUDDY) field with nothing but a thick handful of fog, a lovely white skirt, oh and my shoes – which I might add are ruined all in the name of art:

Now for some lazy Sunday images. Well, John set the scene more like this ‘okay jump on that and act like you’ve woken up in some guy’s bed Sunday morning’:

A few more, plus one of my ass:

A few images to show the high quality of photos produced at Denton's training sessions- i think anyone who attends can safely say what a fantastic teacher he is! Here are some from a couple of photographers who attended this weekend.

These pretty few were captured by the wonderful and absolutely hilarious Jo Rutherford and James De La Cloche. To all models local, or even miles away from these two – book them, they’re full of ideas, funny and can work to their best abilities even when John Denton wrongfully took them under his wing the night before ;)

Finally, I think it would be wrong not to add some behind the scenes images captured by John, myself, Nigel and Jo:
