Today I am going to share images which are a little different to my wedding and portrait photography that you will be more familiar with. I was asked by Freedom Hairdressing of Dundee to photograph a shoot called “Anatomy of a Photoshoot” with the images to be used for their upcoming marketing. Sessions like this are a lot of fun for the photographer and the subject too.

We had a cool location at The Spray Factory in Dundee, very different to any location I have photographed in before, and a whole afternoon to play.

I decided to use lights for these images and this gives them a very different to feel to the photographs I normally share here.

Hair and the concept for the photography was by Irving and the team at Freedom Hair. Clothes were sourced by stylist Sarah Hutton and included clothing from Rara Dundee and Maggies Farm. Make up was by the very talented Karen Bowen, hair was by the team at Freedom Hairdressing and the location was supplied by The Spray Factory.

Freedom Classics is a photography shoot for Irving of Freedom Hairdressing in Dundee. He wanted to create a set of images that would show the great work of the salon. The day started with make up, hair and styling, starting at the salon in Dock Street, Dundee. When the styling was complete we moved over to the City Quay area of Dundee for the photography session. This is a great area for photography with a variety of interesting backgrounds, although on this day we had to find shelter from the wind so as not to mess up the models hair. Following this it was time to go to the Apex Hotel for a restyle and more photography.

A selection of the images have been printed and framed for display in the salon as well as being used for marketing.

Photography Heaven

Ingredients – two gorgeous models, an uber talented make up artist / stylist, a top Dundee bespoke jeweller who works with silver, a brief to show off the talents of all involved and an afternoon to play – a photographer’s idea of a perfect way to spend time.

Dundee based Nicola Morrison makes bespoke jewellery and was looking for some images to show off her latest work. With hair, makeup and styling by Sandra Cormack ‘SC Makeup Artistry‘, also of Dundee,  and the very beautiful Lynn and Rosslyn as models it was always going to be a good day and I was delighted to be the photographer. Sandra spent the morning preparing the girls hair and make-up and we all met just after lunch at the Wasp Studios in Dundee, just around the corner from the Verdant Mill for an afternoon’s photography.

The session was great fun as we had the opportunity to experiment and try different ideas which I always enjoy. One thing I took away from the day was that my 105mm micro lens is great for portraits icon smile portraits photography photography – I would not normally have used this camera lens for lifestyle portrait photography or wedding photography but I will definitely be carrying it in my camera bag from now on.

Lynn and Rosslyn were great models, and a lot of fun to work with. Lynn had done some modelling before but this was Rosslyn’s first time and she did a great job.

A big thanks to Amanda Miller at Abernyte Antiques , near Dundee, for supplying the gorgeous vintage dresses and Alison Preuss of The Frockery, by Forfar, for the vintage clutch bag.

Contemporary lifestyle portrait photographs by photographer in north east Scotland

 

It has been a busy time of late with weddings, including a beautiful one in Portugal, time spent on training courses and a lot of time working on my new website. I will be posting images from the weddings soon but in the meantime here are some images from a family lifestyle portrait session in the Lake District.

Boutique Photography

August 11th, 2009

Boutique photography. You can think of it like a journey. A bus will get you from A to B, but if you want to enjoy the luxury of a fine vehicle, the experience of sitting in a climate controlled environment adjusted for your comfort whilst sitting in sumptuous leather seats listening to your favourite music, then perhaps that top end Mercedes is the right choice for you. Boutique photography is the equivalent to the Mercedes.

 

First of all a big apology for the gap in posts, due to a holiday. I had planned to post before I went away but I was beaten by circumstances.

I like to think of my business as providing boutique wedding and lifestyle portrait photography. But why boutique?

Brad Laura portraits photography photography photography business photography advice

Boutique because I provide a specialised service, using the finest bespoke products, to people who value photography and their memories. Bookings are limited to enable the level of experience and service that is so important. This, along with superb end products, results in heirloom quality albums and images that tell your story and can be passed on to the next generation.

A lot of time is spent creating bespoke photography sessions to ensure that your portrait art is truly personalised as well as capturing the essence of you and your family. From guidance on what to wear and choice of locations, to time spent with you viewing the images using a projector and screen, helping you to make the right image and product choices.

The time invested in the photographic session is just a small part of the process, but that is a whole post in itself which I will save for another time.

With boutique photography it is the whole experience that is truly wonderful and the images which make the investment of time and money worthwhile.


As no post is complete without images, these are from a session with Brad and Laura in the Lake District.
