Some words about the photos…
We were looking to do something androgynous with this shoot but I wanted to mix it with some interesting posing. I wanted the images to be a mix of flamboyant but also quite editorial.

Before the shoot I had checked the forecast through many different sites and I knew we had around two hours before there was a huge potential for heavy rain. We hammered through the shoot, using just one location, which was lucky because as the forecast suggested, rain fell just as it said. There’s a lesson here in being organised (and in using one location I guess?!)

Moving forward I want to encourage using my wide angle lens and maybe working on some more jumping photographs, with more of a posed jump (as well as a cleaner background). Also, after using my Helios lens for the head shots, I definitely want to work that into shoots more as I’ve been neglecting it of late.
