Property photography - Middleton Chambers Bishop's Lane Hull

Image
 I photographed a lovely modern-looking two-bedroom apartment in Bishop's Lane Hull.  One of  several apartments within Middleton Chambers, which dates back to 1908, when it was used as a legal office, like many of the old buildings around High Street, or "Old Town" as it is known. I used a new technique of bracketed shots with "lights on and lights off", with some Photoshop magic once back home.  It does take more time shooting and processing afterwards, to avoid that yellow light colour cast that a lot of electric lights give off, but I thought this property deserved it. It had an open-plan layout for the living room kitchen but it had the space, with enough room for a separate dining area.

I arrived on an overcast day, unloaded the car and got set up.  We started at what appeared to be the place with the most light - the upstairs...

Medieval-themed photoshoot with Carly

As Carly was approaching a significant birthday, her mum wanted to get her something a bit special.  She got in touch and we were discussing Carly's love of all things medieval! She did some research on buying a suitable outfit, and decided on the kind of looks she wanted for her hair, and I had a nearby location in mind, so we set the date, booked in hair and makeup to be done by the fabulous Louise Shepherd at their house, and the photoshoot plan was made! After many months of waiting, the day finally came.  An outdoor shoot in January! We had terrible winds the day before, and rain the day after, but all the stars aligned for her, and the day was a little chilly, but clear and dry!  We met at the Riverside Cafe, Ferriby and took a walk along the path that runs by the Humber Estuary between Ferriby and Hessle. We started in some woods, before moving out by the Humber, and finished back along the path, where I'd seen some interesting long grasses.  As it was a very ...
