The summer was finally here and I got out to shoot the now discontinued Fuji Pro 400H.
I was shooting with my Profoto A1 and Nikon FA. We started walking these deserted streets early in the morning on Sunday, finding narrow Victorian alleyways and cobbled streets.
Here are my favourite shots from the shoot on the day.
First shot with Georgia resting her elbow on the structure. Good hand placement from her and the hair falling down her left hand side adds a little bit of movement to the image itself.
Flipped over to the other side with Georgia leaning against this structure in her floral green dress. The colours are seemingly reflecting off the window in the distance with a fan like design mimicking the wind flowing through her hair. In terms of composition, the angles and flow are pleasing to the eye hence why I chose this is one of my favourite shots from this shoot.
The sun was strongly illuminating Georgia’s left shoulder. To balance this out and reduce the shadow casting across her body I angled the Profoto A1 to the left of the frame. The fall off from the light was not able to adequately light her legs which came in good learning for the next time! Pleased with the composition and pose in this image with the backdrop of one of London’s most iconic buildings; The Shard. If you haven’t been to the top of it you should definitely book in to spend some time in the Sky Garden!
My best shot from the day was Georgia wearing this red dress standing with her pointing down. The natural light bouncing off all buildings and with her turning back and pointing her finger down as to the idea of direction of movement of light. The natural light highlighting the hair and illuminating it adds to the drama created by the yellow lines passing into the perfect endlessness.
All film images were taken on the wonderful Nikon FA 35mm Camera with the manual f/2 35mm lens
