Beards and Ink – Portrait Photography Personal Project

Those of you that follow my daily struggles know that I mostly shoot fashion and advertising jobs. Those are usually high energy projects involving big teams, fast pace, noisy environment, loud music and large dose of adrenaline. And I absolutely love all of the above but sometimes you just need a break. No I don’t mean brake from photography. My life circulates around photography 24/7. When I don’t work I watch tutorials, interviews, behind the scenes, stare at other people’s work, experiment with new gear I even take pictures at romantic dates (huge credit to my fiancee for putting up with all of this 😉 ) So what I really mean is break in the pattern. Sometimes you just need to do something different to refuel your creativity. And so I did…

A Day of Hard Work of London Fashion Photographer

A few weeks ago I had a great pleasure to shoot for Dark Pink London fashion brand. It is a rather young brand but over the past couple of years, they have really taken London by storm. As the company grows and matures their advertising guidelines get more ambitious and conveniently there is a decent budget to support it.

B*Witched The Big Reunion photo shoot

On a side note – I have written this post good few months ago but due to exclusive rights agreement had to keep it secret until now. Although it is slightly outdated I still think it’s an interesting story worth sharing. Do you remember the 90’s girls band B*Witched (‘C’est La Vie‘, ‘Rollercoaster’, ‘Blame it on the Weatherman‘)? They have recently got back together for ITV2 series “The Big Reunion”. Following the show’s major success came the Reunion Tour and talks about a new album.
And here my part begins…

Editorial shot

Today I would like to share with you a nice fashion photography editorial I have shot recently. I have to be honest with you, although I have a real passion for photography like in any other job some days are better than others. This particular day has been great from start to finish.

Miss USSR UK 2013-2014 London

Last year I had a pleasure to attend the Miss USSR UK 2012/2013 Grand Final at Logan Hall in London. I vas invited by one of the girls as a guest. She has managed to arrange a press pass, allowing me to take some photos. So I did. Quite few actually (check out my post from this event right here: Miss USSR UK 2012-2013). My photos spread out quickly and started circulating between girls/contestants, guest performers, also reaching press and organisers themselves. I guess they liked it because this year they have offered me an honour to be the Official Photographer for this year’s contest. We have scheduled six castings in various London’s trendy night clubs, semi final and Grand Finale.

Homework before the shoot. Fashion photography London.

Today I’d like to walk you through my preparations process before a fashion shoot.

I chose this particular one for couple of reasons. It had some extra factors that you normally wouldn’t consider and it makes rather cool story.

So let’s start from the beginning.

I stumbled upon this location while shooting different job near by. I liked it so I came back the next day for a closer look. I took some iPhone reference photos.

I love the geotagging function. It let’s me easily find where exactly this photo was taken.

You’d be amazed how many old photos of really cool locations I have but can no longer remember where they were taken.
