This was a weird shoot for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was weird because Daniel got in touch with me nearly a year after we first met, we met when we were both extras on a DFS commercial and he remembered me mentioning I was a photographer, so a year later I get this email along the lines of, I know this is random but I hope you remember me and would you like to do a test shoot. So I agreed because I don't have many male models in my portfolio and also I liked the randomness of the situation. The other reason why it was a weird shoot was because I'm not at all use to shooting with guys, after a year of shooting predominatly glamourous, sparcely dressed Burlesquers this was quite difficult for me! I haven't a clue about men's fashion or modelling and due to the last minute nature of the shoot did not have chance to research much. So in the end it was just a complete improvisation, some of the photographs are excellent some are not so much. Just goes to show that I need more practise!
Was particularly nice to finally get to make the most of the wonderful weather we've had lately, we shot on location on and around Leeds University campus and used natural light, which was tweaked later in Photoshop.
