TFCD in Cambridge

It was the 4th May and we were off to Cambridge to do a shoot with a new aspiring model called Alexie.

We arrived at Alexie's at 10:30 and spent an hour or so discussing and choosing outfits for the shoot.
Alexie had arranged for her friend Jess to come over to do her hair and make-up and I must say she did a good job.

Once our lovely model was ready we were ready to go to the first location ... which was the garden area at the back of her flat! :)
There was a beautiful cherry blossom tree outside and some of the cherry blossom had fallen to the ground, which looked very pretty. Considering Alexie had not done much modelling before and had only just met me and Ross, she was very comfortable with us and in front of the camera.



We then all jumped into our car and went to the next location .... which was just around the corner! A foot and cycle bridge over the railway tracks and me and Ross both got some shots here.
As always when I’m shooting, Ross will assist and I do the same for him when he’s shooting.
If you ever get to see us work together, you’ll see that we make a really good team.
The next location was the Mill Pond, a local park. It had some trees and even some punts. As always Ross and I used the surroundings to our advantage. At one point Alexie was brave enough to pose herself nude on a big tree trunk. I’m sure when you see the shots you will agree they're beautiful.


Jess had brought along a gorgeous ball gown, so we got Alexie to wear it and pose on a punt.
Unfortunately the boat men wouldn’t take Alexie out on the boat without payment. Oh well.
Despite this Ross got some stunning pictures.

After a lovely lunch at a local pub, we got Alexie into a swimsuit. We got her in the water by the pints and then went to the otherside of the park where the weir and main pond are.
In some of the shots you will notice my floppy summer hat. I always take my hats to these shoots (one of my other hats was used for some of the shots on the bridge as well).


We'd been at this all day and by this time it was early evening. But there was one more location we wanted to visit - an old graveyard!
We all agreed to put Alexie back in the ball gown, which is the oppsite of what you’d expect to see someone wearing in a graveyard. But it really worked a treat and we got some amazing shots.


Ross and I would like to say thank you to Jess for all her assistance on the day and obviously a big thanks to Alexie, our beautiful model.
