Some words about the shots…
I think we’ve done a great job here of despite just having no plan and shooting quite casually, creating quite editorial style images.

I’ve recently acquired a 135mm lens so I tested this out a couple of times during the day for more of the head shots and quite enjoyed it, but I can’t wait to be in a situation where I have more space to use it for more of a body shot also.

I’m really struggling in the current weather. Bright sunshine is probably my least favourite to shoot in, especially as many of my shoots take place from early afternoon. While ideally I’d rather be shooting earlier, or a lot later, sometimes you have to get the reflector out and work with what you’ve got!
