lil photography

Shaun and I shot together literally yearrrrrrrrs ago, we had a great shoot and hit off a rapport so well. The shoot style/plan was shooting latex/leather: of which Shaun provides the outfits and knows exactly the kind of looks/angles he wants to achieve. :) Then, quite some time flew by since the first time we worked together and what a wonderful surprise it was to then connect a number of years down the line when Shaun got in touch to arrange a second shoot! Even though it was quite some time ago I remember quite clearly than we had a super productive shoot and Shaun was a lovely guy who was so easy to work with, so I was totally over the moon to hear back from him. :)

Shoot number two:
We organised the shoot at Shaun's place in Rochdale, I had since passed my driving test so I could come to him this time! :D Shaun was really helpful on arrival, helping me with my stuff and getting the kettle working upon arrival. He really prioritises making models feel comfortable on shoots and that already makes you feel good about the work before you've even started! He had the outfits ready and organised with ideas of how we could style the looks etc. He knows exactly what he wants to capture in his work but always welcomes the models input too which is nice. Then began the creating of the images - it was like we had only shot last week! :P Talk about teamwork! For each pose I did, Shaun would work the angles and lighting to make it work, he's got an epic technical knowhow and really takes care to give the sets strong visual impact. We worked very efficiently getting through a lot of sets on a short space of time which must be a record for me with latex because you spend a good proportion of the shoot getting into the outfits sometimes! :D But Shaun is a really confident photographer and totally easy going so when we had nailed the shots he was happy to clock-off a little early and he kindly let me take some back of the camera shots too for my Instagram! :P A thoroughly enjoyable shoot and the same delightful professionalism that I had received from Shaun in the past... He is a really nice guy to work with and fab company too - I recommend him massively.

Shoot number three:
So literally after having had a number of years being not in touch, within weeks of our second shoot; we were well into the planning of a third! This time it fell into around the same time I was touring Chester, so rather than wait a good few weeks (as I had other bookings) I suggested that we could perhaps think about shooting on location in Chester as I had a free afternoon on one of the days during my tour, plus on our latest encounter we had literally been chatting about doing some outdoors work. :) Well the day certainly challenged us: it was right in the midst of that bad snow spell before Christmas. Poor Shaun, bless him, lived on the worst street possible for it and encountered difficulty on the morning which understandably caused us a bit of delay but he was so dedicated to see the shoot through that he made alternative arrangements to get to Chester and we still had a super awesome winter-wonderland shoot in the city! The pictures were truly awesome! :D He will always try his best to trouble-shoot issues and make the shoot work, and is by far the most respectful and courteous person a model could hope to shoot with. :) I really look forward to our next shoot!

I've worked with Shaun on several occasions over the last three years or so and each experience has been relaxed and easy.
Shaun is always professional in his approach, great to chew the fat with and happy to go with the flow.
I recommend Shaun to models, both hobbyists and professionals alike, and look forward to the next shoot.
