Hello all….. Welcome to my small photographers blog. Im going to keep things short and sweet on here and post the odd story about our photoshoots or interesting tit bits found on the internet about the industry. Also some info from behind the scenes of the occasional photoshoot as I for one like looking at other photographers shoots as sometimes you can pic up the odd good idea or two.

About myself……. Well Ive been shooting far longer than I can remember starting back in school running the old school darkroom long before digital. I’m a people photographer having shot anything from celebrities to a good old wedding and from glamourtorial to commercial advertising.

A five hour trek deep into the jungle watching out for tranatulas scorpians crocodiles and snakes made this one a hazardous shoot. Lucky Crocodile Joe was with us the whole way that made this shoot possible. More info to follow……

Just love this shot. Its been one of my personal favorite headshots I think Ive ever done. The subject is Samantha Cunningham an actress and model and was shot in Spain a couple of years ago using my favorite lighting on a Contax 645 with a +21 Phase One back. Keep it simple.

In a startling new documentary called Picture Me, model Sara Ziff and her former boyfriend co-director Ole Schell, expose the seedy recesses in the world of high fashion modeling; including those who turn a blind eye to it.

Sophie Reade makes Big Brother 10. Weve been working with Sophie Reade for near two years and is a constant pleasure to work with. Time to wisk through our images to see what we have in our collection. Im sure we also have some great video footage from behind the scenes of some of our photoshoots so watch out for that…….

This image was shot a few weeks ago for a Missimo casting when a TV crew followed her into the studio on the excuse of filming a TV modeling documentary. Little did I realise it was really for channel 4 Big Brother in the studio….. sneeky guys!

Seems Sophie Reade’s name has been changed to Dogface Reade. So heres the new official website www.dogfacereade.com

Sophie Reade please move down one! Louise Cliffe is in town! Check out this hot new video! www.thesocialnetwork.biz

There’s some jobs that come into the studio which are quite fun to do. Sorry no girls this time but these lads! Its amazing how many offers I had of girls offering to do the baby oil. All buffed up and looking the part. Enter the competition to join them for free on the press night. Catch them online on the website Herecometheboys.com

Half of the shoot was shot in LA and the other was shot in London. With a little magic they ended up as one group shot.

Nikon D700. And a bit of photoshop for the background…..

UPDATE:

Well we popped over to the show last night ( O2 Indigo) with a small troop of my girls armed with bottles of baby oil and it was a great super show. Below is the tour dates so make sure you dont miss it!

Of the show the Sun newspaper says:

“THIS GLOSSY, GROWN-UP PERFORMANCE WOULDN’T LOOK OUT OF PLACE IN A MAJOR STADIUM AND I DEFY ANY WOMAN TO NOT ENJOY WATCHING THIS GROUP OF TALENTED, GORGEOUS GUYS!”

Here Come The Boys! are set to fulfill just about every female fantasy, tantalizing and entertaining women across the UK in a National tour.

The show will feature physically stunning men with some of the most recognisable stars from the original 1991 Chippendales cast and some hot new faces. The Boys will delight the audience with a series of disarmingly sexy routines designed exclusively for ladies.

Here Come The Boys! artistically encapsulates a wide range of sensuous and visually stimulating performances that offer the perfect blend of live music, hot dance moves and muscle! All choreographed by Cris Judd (choreographer to Jennifer Lopez, lead dancer for Michael Jackson during his History Tour and ex Chippendales dancer).

Anticipation is already building and the countdown has begun!

HERE COME THE BOYS!

I find this rather funny!

Check out the GirlyShows new website. its so cool and a great talented bunch of girls……. www.thegirlyshow.com

If you wander anywhere near the Holland Park roundabout near the Westfield shopping center you just might see our advert on the huge electronic billboard posters for our book all about the “Professional Modelling” industry. So make sure you buy the book. its got some nice snaps in it!

It might seem strange but the image on the billboard poster is only a 150DPI 768×192 file. The electronic LED digital screens do a superb job of making such a small file look brilliant.

Its great to shoot location! Models jumping all over the place and screaming at you…. You just cant win….

Lighting for this shoot was simply two SB800s on stands and a Nikon D700. F8 250 to catch just a hint of movement.

My new website is launched today www.lesauvage.co.uk so check it out….
