David McLeod @ Elite Models London

Australian born model David McLeod, new face at Elite Models, popped in for a test session last week.

Amongst chatting English weather, awesome shoes, and seeing his friends on magazine covers, we captured what we think are some great shots of him! Here are a few...

We snuck this last one in at the end because we just loved David's crazy striking blue eyes, and he said it was his favourite colour!

Portraits from the Homestead in West Hampstead

Aside from the obvious fun we have, one of the other benefits to working as a photography duo is that sometimes, when you want to try something new with your camera, or test a new style before you bring in the models, is to be able to tap up the other person to come and model for you instead.

I personally think I'm on the better side of this, as Jordanna is very photogenic, vs myself who usually looks like some sort of weird frog.

On Tuesday, she popped over to mine (another benefit - we live 5 streets apart) for a glass or 2 of vino, and some natural light testing portrait and beauty shots at my apartment/home studio.

That's all on this occasion, but we will be testing very shortly, so look out for the next posts!

April Showers - Portrait Sessions

From the view of March, April seemed like a quiet month, one with free afternoons and even the potential for a day off. Little did we know...

Still, we managed to schedule in a portraits day with 3 freelance models: Mina, Gabriel and Gary. Three very contrasting models, all enthusiastic and bringing a smile to our day!

We set up in my home studio for the day, with simple black and white backdrops and a couple of softboxes, and the potential for a part on location locally if that blasted rain would just hold off for 5 minutes.

Here are some of the results........

We had a great day, so expect more portrait sessions from the studio very soon.
