Well I have recently returned from a full week in Hamburg shooting with Mike... in the studio, out on location and at his place! Yet there are still ideas we could think of to shoot as I was getting myself set to return to the UK! I feel we nailed some really amazing images on every day spent shooting but the awesome team rapport that I have with Mike could still generate more and more; bouncing off each other with ideas is the story of the trip and Mike is so creatively inspired by what different models can deliver that he is so easy going when it comes to listening and sharing ideas. That's just one of the things that makes him such a joy to work with. :)
Day 1 & 2: Mike had selected a truly stunning beach where we dabbled with a whole range of looks shooting as we went along and as something inspired us. Sunset and sunrise - NAILED! It was just the first day and I was leaping around with excitement at the stupendous results caught in the lowering sunshine at the seaside... Mike's photographic eye was savoir of the evening, he utilised every possible means of getting a striking image with the natural light and balancing flash to absolutely conquer the opportunity. Then the following day we shot some amazing variety as we made our way back to Hamburg... SENSATIONAL. Having had all our previous shoots take place indoors it was so lovely to get out and seize this opportunity.
We then had the studio days at Fotoworkshop Studios; Mike was brilliant host as always... multitasking like it was going out of fashion because not only was he helping set up different sets for the photographers and being on hand to change the lights but he was the onsite translator at times and probably just as exhausted as me by the end of the day! All the guys that came to shoot me were lovely, Mike has a really great circle of photographers that book his place and models are treat with utmost respect and courtesy from the outset. Top professionalism in the way the days are run, a gorgeous studio with tremendous natural light and different sets - Mike and I made prolific use of said sets in numerous ways being as creative as our brains could cope! But worth every minute!
I stayed with Mike and his lovely wife Claudia for the whole week and it is like staying with friends now. The nicest couple you could hope to meet, so much fun and they bend over backwards to ensure that their guests are as comfortable as could be. We appeared to be having a heat wave whilst I was over and they were always up and down the house airing my room when possible to ensure I didn't roast in the night; barbeques were held and delish food served on the daily. :) I think the 3 of us could probably get a spot in the Guinness Book of Records for the most talking done in a day because we were chattering about all sorts non-stop putting the world to rights, but this is just a reflection of the divine hospitality models receive when they come and stay. The week sure flew by and we are already in the process of looking at arranging another visit in the autumn.
Models will feel totally at ease working with this gent, he has a true artistic eye no matter what material he is shooting and I am very much at ease going for it with my poses because Mike is forever working with me to get creative angles which sculpt the photograph into something with a real WOW factor. He's a cracking photographer, a terrific host plus so delightful to enjoy a laugh with. I have very high regards for both him and Claudia, I cannot stress how great the team value is when working with Mike and still look forward to the various stunning images making their way up as Mike processes them.
Thanks for everything Mike!
