A Few Remaining Randoms

These photos are from various shoots throughout 2010 so far, and I think this brings my blog up to date with images. There have been other shoots, but I don't always get photos back from paid shoots. I hope I haven't forgotten any.

Hopefully this brings me up to date so from now on, I will update my blog as and when I receive new photos, and it will always be current.

Keep watching this space, as I have done some really exciting shoots lately and am eagerly anticipating new images from them!

The Guild of Erotic Artists celebrated its 8th Anniversary in June.

Unfortunately, the date clashed with England's rather dismal final performance in the World Cup, and the event was consequently not very well attended.

Despite this, I did manage to fit in a short shoot with Dale Strickland Clark which you can view here. I also have another shoot booked with Dale in the very near future.

Those who did attend the event day watched the match on a small TV in 'The Barn,' and I threw in some half time entertainment.

These shots are intentionally tongue in cheek, and I think - given the outcome of the World Cup - summarise pretty well the feelings of most people watching England's performance this summer!

I love creating images with a touch of humour, and I hope these might make you chuckle - it was a much better way of spending the time rather than watching the match. ;-)

(I particularly love the image on the screen in the above one - says it all, really!)

Not exactly portfolio worthy, but please view them in the spirit in which they were intended,

just a bit of fun!

Ode to the Rape Seed Field

Ah, the first signs of summer. Throughout Britain, the fields turn yellow, and photographers everywhere can be found flocking in droves to shoot in the rape seed (canola, for our American friends who can't quite get their head around this particular homonym). You can barely drive past a field in flower without finding a bare naked lady prancing around in front of a camera lens. ;-)

So yes, it's been done before. But with good reason, because you can't really go wrong shooting in rape seed. So, this year was no different - in fact I ended up shooting in local rape seed fields several times. It was always going to be difficult to better the version I created with Dave A Davies a few years ago (see here), and as I've mentioned before, I'm always reluctant to create the exact same concept twice.

This year, I'd already shot in the rape seed with my clothes on (can you believe it?) as mentioned in a previous blog entry. I also shot in rape seed several more times this year, and tried to do something a little different each time.

I did another shoot for the Guild of Erotic Artists at their event day in May (the same day I also did the saxophone body painting shoot). I kept it fairly simple, based on the idea that you really can't go wrong with a nude lady in a rape seed field. These are a few shots by different photographers from the shoot. It's a bit like a game of 'spot the difference.'

I also shot in the same field with Liteangle on a different occasion. I tried to give a different 'feel' to this version, rather than repeat the same look, and the post-processing is by myself to reflect that. Image below.

This wasn't the last time I shot in the rape seed this year. I waited for it to go to seed, and the poppies came out, giving me a whole different concept: Poppies

I still have more ideas for shoots in the rape seed fields, so I expect I'll be flocking to the fields again next year!

Last Minute in London

I often pick up last minute photo shoots, sometimes on the day of the shoot, or the night before. I enjoy the spontaneity of being available at the last moment. These shots are from another short notice shoot in Kennington, South London by T Pryse-Hawkins.

Some were shot using natural light and others using studio flash. We only shot for about an hour, so all in all it was a very productive shoot to get results in such a short space of time.

I find the odd short photo shoot quite refreshing - it certainly focusses the mind!

Sunny St Albans

In May I attended a group shoot in St Albans, one of my home towns (I split my time between there and Chesterfield). I did this particular shoot as a way of networking and meeting people, as it was just around the corner from me. It was nice to meet other local photographers and models, and I used the opportunity to publicise 'the renaissance of ERosanne' in case word had not yet got around that I'm still on the scene after being abroad for a while. Best of all, it turned out that there are some great locations, not two minutes walk from my Hertfordshire home, that I had somehow never heard of or visited!

We shot in a derelict pool which had fallen into disuse, as well as the ruined nunnery around the corner which turns out to be a great location for a shoot, and also a lovely place for a picnic. I've no idea why I've never heard of these local treasures, but I was happy to discover them.

I shot with four different photographers on the day, all of whom were a pleasure to work with.
