Lost Morals

I did a shoot with a local band called Lost Morals with Montana assisting. Went to the car park behind the football stadium because the plan was that I wanted to create a quite dusty look. I had Montana driving along the back of the shot to make it before I shot to get the trail. It came more in to the shoot as the wind blew it in, but it didn't look quite right the closer it got to the people. 
Anywayyy..

Acting Headshots

These head shots are for an upcoming Shakespeare production of A Midsummer Nights Dream. They are teaming up with a local charity called 'Creative Kids'. To find out more about them, visit their website www.shakespearebythesea.co.uk
They were looking for an upbeat feel to these images as its aimed at families to come and see it.

We set up camp in one of the acting studios at aucb where we shot a total of 19 people, to see the rest of them check out the programme or better yet go to the show!

We did this as a favour to Miss Clare Hewitt :)

Olympic Hopefuls

Amy's Professional Project

This is a series of images I took of Olympic Hopefuls, who hope to be competing at London 2012. Each of these athletes compete now at National level but are the equivalent to the under 21’s in football, where they aren’t quite in the main team. They have 2 years to train hard and push themselves to get in to that final squad and have the hopes of the country on their shoulders. I wanted all the focus to be on them, which is why I decided to shoot in a studio like environment which consisted of 3 locations, a convent, an army camp and a hotel room. I took hundreds of shots with them in different positions, but for me the ones that worked best for the brief I had set myself of photographing Olympic Hopefuls worked best when they were looking away from the camera. This way it creates a somewhat vulnerability factor. I gained inspiration from the likes of Mark Zibert and David Clerihew who both light their subjects in a similar way.

Big thanks to Ben Gregory, Matt Myers, Jess Tappin, Rob Flack, Sam Ward and Jem Camble for helping me out.

And my assistant Montana








1940's Inspired Shoot

Montana's Professional Project.

This was the series of images that I created for Uni with the intention of them being seen in 'Vogue'. I was inspired by the 1940's and the woman's role within WW2 and the way they were represented, as I found out that just recently that an organisation called WASPS have only just been recognised for their contribution to the war. I shot in an abandoned army camp that was used for flight navigation during the war. I wanted the images to feel like they were film stills and to appear nostalgic. I decided to use smoke because in my end landscape shot there is an image of a plane and during the war there were bombs dropped that would of created a lot of smoke, so I decided to use this in creating the same kind of atmosphere during this time.
This project consisted of quite a big team. I had my mum Angela Lowery @ Y Salon doing the hair and Julie Patterson on the make up. Two trusty assistants, one being Amy and the other Joe Hodgekinson. The beautiful models were Lewis Jamison from Tyne Tees Models and Andrea from Elite Models London. The styling was done by myself and my mum, which was a combination of bought, made and borrowed clothing.
