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.

More Kianis! Vintage 30s shoot
Kianis returned for another shoot but this time to re-create an authentic 30s P G Woodhouse character complete with tails coat top hat monocle and many other props that we have available at our studio. We spent a lot of time perfecting Kianis’s hair and adjusting small costume details to produce a really atmospheric set of images
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.
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!
Luxurious ‘Dudoir’, Gold Glitter and Formal Fashion with male model James
‘Our shoot took full advantage of all the props, furniture, costumes and make-up we have to offer in the studio. We started off with boudoir style images with the chaise long and chiffon, then experimented with a ‘gold’ theme with glitter and our newly acquired gilt frame and finished off with semi-formal all-white fashion shots.
Publicity shot for singer and Youtuber, Paige
Paige got in contact after our street shoot earlier in the year to arrange a shoot to give her a set of shots for publicity, social media and modelling. She bought along lot of bright branded outfits and we created loads of bright, fun, energetic images.
Street Shoot for singer and female model Paige
Paige contacted us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jbdi_photos/ to book a model portfolio shoot to add some images to her portfolio and for some photos for her new modelling agent. We met in Manchester’s Northern Quarter and chose a few suitable urban backdrops to capture some street fashion shots. She’s the first model we’ve worked with whose done the splits during a shoot! This was also the first shoot featuring a new addition to our kit, the Fuji XT 3
Fashion, Editorial and Physique shoot with Elvis
Experienced and adventurous male model Elvis visited the studio to shoot fashion, editorial and physique images. Elvis has an amazing physique, honed from calisthenics and free running. Able to adapt to numerous different styles, Elvis was in his element experimenting with the array of props and costumes available in our studio
Fashion Shoot with Zoe
As part of a Fuji workshop working with Matthew Maddock, I was able to shoot with Manchester -based Zoe with my new Fuji X 1 Pro and a selection of Fuji lenses. The shoot took place in the Royal Exchange Theatre and in some outdoor locations around Manchester city centre.
