Branding portraits session for author Osas

Osadolor "Osas" Osayande is an author and had a new book called "Forked Accents" to promote so he hot in touch with me with lots of strong ideas of the kinds of images he wanted.  In the run-up to the photoshoot we pushed these idea back and forth around what we could do inside the studio and on location.  When it came to the shoot day, the weather was dreadful but we decided we could still meet his vision indoors!

As well as a few standard portraits with the book, he wanted more unusual and quirky photos - something with a bit more personality - I had him almost dancing at one point - he is not a stuffy author!

Professional headshots

Actor headshot in the studio If you are a professional and need your "public" image to be a little better than a selfie that you got from your Facebook profile picture, step this way! With the studio setup we can do a number of different looks, depending on the session time.

Headshot done outside the studio You may need a more serious headshot for your LinkedIn profile, or for your "meet the team" section of your company website, or perhaps something more dramatic if you are an actor needing to promote your portfolio.

Home boudoir photography in the Hull area

  If you are wanting to arrange a boudoir photoshoot in Hull or the surrounding areas, instead of a shoot in the studio, you have the option of having it in your home. It gives a much different look and will give it more of a personal touch. It also means you have access to all of your stuff - all your outfits are close to hand and you are in familiar surroundings. As long as you have a decent amount of space and a relatively uncluttered room, we can make some beautiful photos without you leaving the house. Please get in touch so we can discuss suitability for a home photoshoot. Here are a few example images from a home shoot, using no more than light from the window and occasionally a small flashgun to fill the shadows, though all of these examples were just windowlight. Most of the shoot was done in the window area or on the bed.   We added some interest by with some water.  She got the shirt wet and splashed some on herself .

Model shoot with Natalja

 Natalja came for her second photoshoot this week.  We had previously done some fashion-style photos at the studio, after abandoning an outdoor shoot due to the wintery weather, but this time we had discussed a few ideas based on some more sensual photos we had seen online. She brought a selection of quite fabulous lingerie and worked to implied nude (even though she wasn't quite!)   Although she said she had not modelled before, she had a great look and took direction when needed, but was happy to play around with her posing.  Here are some of my favourites.  If you want to arrange a shoot of your own in the Hull East Yorkshire, get in touch through my contact page .
