Two Babes and a Dude!

It all started when Ross wanted to arrange a group shoot at the studio (which never happened - but that's another story).

The lovely Jenny Clewlow responded to the casting call Ross had put on Purestorm. She was unfortunately already booked, but was very keen to set up a shoot with us.

I had originally seen Jenny on Facebook and wanted to work with her. She has a lovely look, already has a stunning portfolio and has worked with many great photographers already - so you can imagine how excited I was that she liked our photos and wanted to work with us.

We managed to find a date we were all free. Communication up to the shoot was excellent. Jenny is very organised and has a level head on those lovely shoulders. Ross messaged Jenny over Facebook and Purstorm with his ideas for the shoot and she was more than happy to turn Ross' ideas into reality.

We also contacted another model who did nudes, which was something lacking from our portfolio. The lovely model was Emma Alicia Robinson, who also had some make-up training.

Emma kindly offered to do the make-up for our shoot with Jenny and do her own too, which was a great help to us. Emma was very quick with the make-up and understood exactly what we required.


Day of the Shoot
When we arrived at the studio we received a warm welcome from Jenny and I must say she is just as pretty in the flesh as in her pictures. Not only that, but shes one very sweet person. We started the shoot with some simple head shots and later moved onto doing some glamour poses.

Ross and Jenny bonded straight way, you’d think they’d been shooting together for years.

There was a lot of giggling from everyone involved in the shoot and the time just flew by.
Before we knew it, it was soon time for the gorgeous Jenny to go :(

We have a lot more shots planned that we'd like to do with her, so will be arranging another shoot with her soon. Stay tuned.

Emma's Turn
We had the studio booked for another 3 hours. With Jenny gone it was now Emma’s turn in front of the camera.

When it came to shooting, Emma knew what we needed from her as a model. The make-up again was spot on for the sort of shots we wanted to get.

The other brilliant thing about Emma was her versatility. She can look very strong/striking one moment and then the next minute look soft/vulnerable.

For the first lot of shots Emma gave herself very extreme make-up, which worked brilliantly with the style of poses she was doing. Very strong fashion poses, lots of angles and curves and really great, strong facial expressions.

Emma had brought her boyfriend Jason along, who we also used for some shots. Again there was a lot of giggling between shots and again just like Jenny, both Emma and Jason were completely comfortable with Ross shooting them. It was hard to believe they hadn’t worked together before.

On this shoot I worked as creative director, stylist and I did a bit of hair styling for Jenny, which are all things I’m enjoying doing.
It was an all round brilliant and fun day and Ross did some of his best work ever. We all made a good team and got some great images.

Big thanks Jenny, Emma and Jason. You guys were great to work with and we must do it again.
