This is my second attempt at an interview with a model I am shooting, I hope you like it. Shot yesterday.
May's last visit to Melbourne was very successful, so she raced back for another. We shot in a lovely little flat in Richmond.
Apologies for the awful sound quality - I could not find my good microphone, and i...

This was my first shoot with Mez, and she is such a delight to work with that I am sure we will shoot again soon. We started with this set with Mez wearing lingerie under some open jeans.

May's lovely flat had this wood burner stove - May loved the setting and, besides, it was a cold day. Took us an age to get the fire going, though!

We moved into the bedroom which has a full 4-poster bed, but the bed takes up almost the whole room, so it was a bit hard to capture its grandeur.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70 f/2.8E lens. Light from 2 Godox AD200pro flashes in 60cm soft boxes and a Nikon SB-800 to give some extra fill.

This was a social shoot organised by a photographer I know. It was supposed to be 10 photographers and 4 models, but it turned out to be a cold day (you can see Meghan's goose bumps), so only 5 photographers and 1 model showed up.

At the end of a fabulous shoot with Mez we had a quick Q&A about modelling, how we came to shoot, and today's shoot.
This was my first attempt at a post shoot interview, so please let me know what you think. Comment below.
Processing has started on the shoot, so posts should start appearing in a week or so. 2022-07-30 14:14:07 +0000 UTC View Post
May booked this lovely flat when she stayed in Melbourne recently, and I was the first photographer to shoot her there. One of the first things you see as you come into the flat is this small set of stairs, and we were both excited to use it as a location.

A new model at a new location. The Dragons Parlour is a new boudoir studio in Melbourne, and this was the first shoot done there when it opened. It is a great space, beautifully decorated, but the main challenge of working there is it is a bit cramped. However, there is a pool in the back yard, so I will be back to shoot ther...

There used to be a paper factory in suburban Melbourne. It has now been demolished to make way for housing, but for a brief period between it closing and construction on the houses began it made a great location to shoot. Sadly, this was the only time I got to shoot there, and the only time I got to shoot Meghan.
May is a poet as well as a model. She has had some problems over the last few years, but had feels she has grown as a result of that and is more in tune with her mind and body.
May had this red suit in her wardrobe, and when I suggested wearing that (and nothing else) she was quite keen, as it gave her a chance to expre...

Reaching back into the archives again, this was one of the first shoots I did at my favourite beach location. Shot back in 2011 on my first DSLR, so the quality is not great (due to both the camera and my emerging technique).

May is a professional model, and also a professional poet with 4 books published. On top of that she is a painter as well.
I am shooting her again very soon, so went back and reviewed the last shoot we did together - which was about 3 years ago! Thanks, pandemic.

It had been a cold morning, and so the house was a bit chilly when we turned up to shoot. Fortunately it was a sunny morning, and so the sun room at the back for the House of Boudoir was reasonably warm. So while we let the heaters do their stuff in the rest of the house, we started out shoot there.

I know a number of you are interested in more shots of Monika. I recently finished our last shoot at the House of Boudoir and scheduled the posts, which will be coming out on Fridays:
Gemma was a circus performer and costume designer, and back in the day I did some photography for her costume web site. This shoot (tacked on to the end of another session) was a special request for me - she did make these chain mail outfits any more (they were just too hard), but she still had one so I asked her to model it ...
