Neils Mansion

Date: 11 August, 2006
Role: Photographer, Director
Location: Britco Pictures / Brittany Andrews’ Studios

I have taken a short break from shooting for no other reason than the studio has been busy.

This shoot happened almost by accident, someone who has used the studio in the past contacted me and asked me if I could shoot a girl he knew. It was a bit risky for me because I hadn’t seen the girl and so did not know how she would look and how she’d be to work with.

It turns out she was hot and very sweet and easy to direct. It was Adriana’s first photoshoot so more directing was needed than for a professional model but she had some really great ideas and we got a load of great portfolio pictures for her.

I enjoy producing and staying back to watch other photographers at work but I probably prefer getting stuck in and taking the pictures myself. Definitely a control thing.

Working with a new girl is really cool because the photographer has even more creative control over the shoot because the girl is not doing her “standard poses”, all the poses are natural “spur of the moment” or come from the photographers direction.

We did two sets in an hour or so: short and fun.
