Just after chirstmas I was fortunate to be invtied along to an abandonned factory by my friend Sam Keeble, me Liam Clark and David Strickland  turned up in sam's car and thankfully fround the fence had been well and truely borken down.

 The factory itsslef was massive and every area had been kicked in to a fair degree, a turely erriee site and a wonderful photo opportunity and great experience.

More modeling from Zoe Ford

Photos from the same shoot as last time only this time scanned in from my SLR prints...i much prefer these shots as I'm far more familar with getting the light to do what I want and confident that what i see through the else is what I get on film.

 Compare them for yourselves below.

Photoshoot

 Today me and my housemate zoe planned to go out on a photoshoot around the nearby council estate, after about 20 mins we gave up due to the fact it was snowing and we were both far too cold to carry on.
as a comprimise i decided to do a shoot back home in our living room, I remembered we had an old shop poster of a tropical scene tucked away in the house, so with this image as a backdrop, a small desk lamp as my lightsourse and my tripod dug out i proceeded to tae an unplanned shoot of mainly Zoe.
I mainly used my SLR to begin with but burrowed adams DSLR as it was more convinient to use in low light.

I wanted a contrast between winterwear and a summery scene. Zoe is a very good model and I really appriciate her for being so patient with me messing with the camera trying to get the light settings right.
