Darryl Brooks Photography

We had discussed a few different ideas about doing another photoshoot, with some being a bit more complex and on location, but due to logistics and scheduling, we had to put some of those on the backburner.  One of the ideas that Sofia had was "my hair wet and a bit wild" and we decided very quickly that we could do that, had some free time, so did it.  Sofia is a fitness instructor based in Hull East Yorkshire so we also did some more fitness-based shots for her business.  A quick application of baby oil and a few sprays of water got the glistening look that we wanted.  With a high key light from an umbrella and a silver reflector below, rim lighting was done with two gridded stripboxes to prevent her being lost in the black background.  

 It is nice when I get recommended by people, and also nice to see people coming back for more photos.  I had previously photographed Paige when she was studying Performing Arts at St Mary's College.  A few years have passed (only a couple!) and she's been off to do various things, and I caught her while she was back in Hull for a bit.  We had discussed a few ideas, she brought a selection of clothes with her, and we shot about 500 frames in less than an hour!  She's an absolute pleasure to work with and we got lots of beautiful photos.
