Spent the day at Mayfield Studio in Newcastle yesterday, with two other photographers and loads of models! The whole day was a blast with some amazing girls, working really hard to create some great images.

Here is a taster from each girl. There will be more from each set of course, over the next few weeks.

In my honest opinion Katrina Darling is the best model in the north east. I am stunned she isn’t in demand more with the ‘bigger’ names in the photography world. She is best known for pin up but can do fashion and glamour just as well. Here is an ‘alt glamour’ (with a hint of ‘fashion’?) shot from yesterday.

Next up, is Kat’s friend Abbey. She has never modeled before and was very nervous. She has a fairly unique look, with a hint of a famous(dead) singer about her. I thought she did a great job and she should keep doing at as she will only get better. Check out her Tumblr here.

Sophie is another girl who hasn’t modeled for very long at all. A fantastic curvy figure and a great attitude means she is going to be a success the more she models. She absolutely ‘rocked’ it yesterday!

Lilith is a girl I have shot with many times, and will continue to do so.I love shooting with her, because of her attitude, and her continually improving ability as a model. She is a good friend as well. I wanted to try something completely new yesterday with low key lighting. Not something I have done before but I love this. The second image is something more typical and is Lilith in ‘rock’n'roll’ mode.

Sally is simply awesome. A writer,dancer, and the sort of mad woman who climbs mountains and jumps out of planes. She doesn’t class herself as a model, but as a great friend should, I bully her into it! She seems to enjoy it so it can’t be that much of a hardship for her!

Emily-Rose is just a sweetheart. Only been modeling since she turned 18. She is tiny but has a big personality. She wasn’t one of my models yesterday but I ‘stole’ her from one of the other photogs (thanks Gregg) just for a quick 5 minutes of portraits. This was my favorite of them.

Last but not least, the very elegent Amy Wesencraft. Amy isn’t normally my kind of model, as I would class her as a ‘fashion’ model. Five foot 10, and legs that go on forever.

Finally check out the other two photographers that I was at the studio with yesterday.
I have know Gregg for a long time and he is a top man–get a shoot with him.

Secondly my good mate Brian. The ‘King of beards’
