I was lucky enough to work with several great models in the last 2 months of 2023, namely Archie, Carl and James. Here’s an eclectic selection of images from all 3 shoots.
Fashion photography Manchester
Gianluca – fashion, fitness and formal wear
Ginaluca is a talented model who wanted to expand his portfolio with some specifically themed images. We started the shoot with a ‘Homage’ to Jean Paul Gaultier’s ‘Le Male’ campaign, continuing onto some fitness and boxing-themes shots and finishing the shoot with some classic black and white formal wear
images.
Tristan – Formalwear, Editorial, Classic nude and Boudoir shoot
Yet another international visitor to our studio, Tristan booked a shoot during his stay in the UK to take full advantage of our vast array of props and costumes to expand his portfolio. We shot some elegant formalwear shots, followed by more adventurous sets using our classic busts and renaissance inspired props.
Kianis – Character and Cosplay shoot
After Kianis’s first shoot , we very promptly arranged a follow-up session to pursue themes that we did not have time to cover during our initial meeting. The first theme was a ‘
30s working class/peaky blinders costume combination, we then changed to a more outlandish steam punk alt fashion outfit and finished the shoot with some colourful male fusion images.
Emil – Fashion, Editorial and Underwear shoot
Emil is a young up-and-coming model who I have worked with on several shoots. He’s developing with each new shoot and our latest session was a great opportunity for him to greatly expand his model portfolio with some high quality fashion, editorial and underwear shots. he’s been working on his physique and it really shows in the images we captured.
Portrait, Fashion and Fantasy shoot with Leon
Leon booked a shoot to update his modelling portfolio. We started with some high-contrast edgy black and white portraits, followed by more editorial images, then covered brighter more colourful sports and fashion shots and finished the shoot with a series of sci-fi, leather fantasy shots.
Hollywood Glamour, 70s leather and Steam Punk duo shoot with Poppy and Darren
Poppy (IG @poppy_valentines) got in touch to arrange a duo shoot with Darren (IG @darrensmodel) to boost her portfolio with some duo retro and cosplay images. Our first theme was a 50s Hollywood starlet scenario, followed by some 70s alt rocker images. The duo then transformed themselves into a Steam Punk couple for the last set. The many costumes and props available at our studio were combined with the models costumes to give extra authenticity to all the themes.
Euan – Fashion, Formalwear and Editorial shoot
Euan is an upcoming model and Instagrammer (@euanthum) who got in touch to arrange a studio shoot, which he hadn’t experienced before, his previous experience being outdoor and travel shoots for his Instagram account. We covered black and white portraits with leather jackets using
some of the extensive wardrobe of costumes in our studio, formalwear shots, some arty fantasy shots with candelabra and decanter and ended with some spiky steam punk images!
Fashion and Editorial Shoot for new model Emil
Emil is a young model hoping to break into the modelling industry. We made a plan to cover areas that would expand his portfolio and show off his look at its best, using a combination of studio props and costumes to produce an eclectic mix of shots.
Portfolio update for Stefan
Stefan is an aspiring male model seeking magazine publication for editorial shoots and booked 2 sessions to broaden his portfolio.The first shoot concentrated on some arty images with chiffon and props, physique shots with the studio tyres and smoke and the second shoot was based more around moody black and white portraits and upbeat and colourful fashion shots.
