Impromptu Shoot
Barcelona Images
In other news, I’ve just had a quick city break to Barcelona this week and took in some of the sights and sounds whilst I was there.
Sadly, a lot of the Gaudi architecture was hidden by scaffolding and hoardings as there appeared to be a lot of renovation going on, but I managed to grab some images I quite like whilst walking around.
They can be found in the Lifestyle and Scenic portfolio pages.
More De Bauchery!
A great shoot at the weekend with the multi-talented Anita De Bauch, dodging the rain showers to shoot some street fashion latex-wear along the Thames as well as some lifestyle shots over a well-earned lunch.
It’s marvelous working with such a talented and professional model who’s also such a nice person!
It was also good to use my new Canon EOS 7D and the Speedlight as a ‘strobe’ off-camera.
Updates can be found in the Fetish and Lifestyle galleries.
August Booked Up!
OK, that’s August accounted for: a shoot in Kent (outside and inside) and another shoot (street fashion, latex and mainstream lifestyle) with the fabulous Anita De Bauch, who’s also left me some great feedback over on Purestorm:
“I shot with Richard and Madame Bink at Light Spot Studio on 30th July and would happily do so again. He was punctual, friendly, polite and professional, and we were both delighted with the photos. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone and am already planning my next shoot with him!”
In other news, I’ve ordered some new kit: a Canon EOS-7D, Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens and a Canon Speedlite 580EX II flashgun for external work, mainly, though I may use it with my Bowens Gemini 200 Kit lights too as a trigger and bounce/fill-in flash.
Jack’s Birthday Weekend
Well that was a busy weekend!
It started on Friday with Amy coming over to stay. A lovely meal at the Rainbow Chinese Buffet Restaurant on Brunel Road before Lucy delivering my ironing – all 24 workshirts!
Saturday morning saw us heading up to Norfolk, collecting Jack on the way before heading into Norwich where we went to Wagamama before shopping: a pair of black Adidas Samba originals for me, two pairs of shoes, a Hollister shirt and Jack & Jones skinny jeans for Jack and a pair of Converse trainers for Amy.
Saturday night and we went back into Norwich to Nando’s followed by the Odeon to see “Attack the Block“, which we all enjoyed. Amy is now being followed and is following Alex Esmail on Twitter!
Sunday saw a lie-in at the hotel for me before heading over to see Jack on his birthday. His Mum had made a great strawberry gateau which we scoffed and later we had bangers and mash – again Jack’s request – before Amy and I headed back down to Royal Holloway.
I then popped over to see GT and eventually got in after midnight. A looooong weekend!
Photoshoot with Jo-Louise
I had a most enjoyable day yesterday doing a shoot with Playboy model Jo-Louise Kelsey. Despite suffering with the flu, she was the consummate professional: natural, ready to discuss ideas and superb in front of the camera (and not to mention stunning!). It was good to work with a truly professional model. Some of the results can be seen in the art nude, lingerie, lifestyle and headshots sections of this site: see my portfolio.
