Scottish Deer Centre, June 2010.

Stuart — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 15:47:05 +0000

Well, I have made it back from Scotland, and had a long week of nights at work, here is the first update from the trip, while there I had a trip to the Scottish Deer Centre, was a great day out, meet a friend up there, who works with the park as a Photographer, he took me round the park, and gave me some privileged access, tacking me in with some of the Deer, and also in with Ginge the Female Fox, must say this was a great experience, and felt so privileged to be so near to this great animal, she showed me no fear at all, but if anyone approached the fence from out side she was off, lost track of how long we where in with her but mast of been coming on a hour or more, wont forget this day in a hurry.

A Bigger Update

Well as promised, a bigger update for you, have been so busy keeping on top of things has not been easy, have had 2 Studio shoots and a location shoot of late, the first Studio shoot was with Syren Sexton on 12th May, was my first time working with Syren, but was good working with her, worked from clothed to nude, but one of the main things I worked on was a strip sequence, which I then made into a panoramic format, this resulted in quite a large file as I am sure you can imagine .

From there it was a long weekend Location Shoot in Wales, worked with 4 models over the weekend, 2 I have worked with before, Ashlea and Tinna, was great working with them again, and also got to work with Lisi and Lou, all 4 worked hard over the weekend to get the shots we wanted, we where spoilt for choice with regards locations, both inside and out, but the highlight had to be the Waterfall, over the weekend worked with various styles from Art Nude to Glamour Nude and portrait, enjoyed myself so much have booked a revisit for September .

While in Wales spoke with Tinna about working with her in the Studio again (wanted to do some Art Nude), and on returning planned and booked a shoot with her for 1st June, this was a great shot, worked on my Art Nude (am really starting to like this style) as Tinna is a natural at this style, also did some Glamour/Glamour Nude on a bed set up, Tinna again worked hard in getting the shots I wanted, I am planning to work with her again on some Art Nude in the not to distant future with luck/planning.

Have also had a few visits to Cotswold Wildlife Park, the Baby Critters are getting so big now, the male Wolverine is out of quarantine, and the Giraffes have arrived, although I am yet to see them.

Anyway that’s the update for now, will try to get some of the Studio/Location shots up in the Gallery today, and after that will be travelling through the night to Glasgow for a few weeks in Scotland, will try to keep this uptodate while away.

CWP 28/04/10

Well was Cotswold Wildlife Park again today, was an unplanned visit after I had what could only be called a Bad Photography Day there on Monday (3 Shots from the day that I anywhere near liked), today was much better though, spent most of the time there today watching the Meerkats and their young (the Meerkittens ), they are so cute to watch, and the adult Meerkats are still going over the wall at every opportunity , some of the shots from today will be going in the Gallery.

Cotswold Wildlife Park, 16/04/10

Well was back at Cotswold again, today for me was not the best though, was struggling with the light (way to strong), getting a good exposure was very, very difficult and to make matters worse, it was fooling me when I looked at the LCD, every shot looked way under exposed, came very close to deleting every shot , so glad I didn’t though, as when I found some shade and checked them, they looked way better

Talk Photography Mini Meet

Stuart — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:09:54 +0000

Had a mini meet at Nicki’s farm today, main aim of the day, watching the Red Kites, and maybe get a shot or two , managed to get a few that I am happy with, but still need to get a shot that I would call nailed, still that’s more reason to go back .

Samantha Alexander, 11/04/2010

Had a shoot with Samantha today, enjoyed the time, worked against a white background this time, tried various outfits etc. including using the rope again, also used the studios Sexy School Girl costume , overall it was a great shoot with Samantha, have put some of the shots in the galleries.

Cotswold Wildlife Park, 09/04/2010

Been to Cotswold’s today, was fighting some real strong light, made shooting conditions very hard, the bonus though was that the babies are thriving, the Siamangs, Purple-faced Langur, Jaguarundi and the Ring Tail Lemurs all have young ones , managed some shots, but not of the baby Ring Tail (mum was keeping it well hidden), looking forward to getting back there for more chances with the babies.

Hayley Marie Coppin, 04/04/2010

Was in the Studio again today, was a last minute booking as was not sure if I would be off, was my first time working with Hayley, but had wanted to work with her for a while, and must say wasn’t disappointed, Hayley was very easy to work with, very friendly and good at what she does, had some interesting lighting to do on some of the shots, was working on a black background and Hayley was wearing a black cat suit, think I managed it though as like the results.
