Anna is a professional model from the UK, who was doing a tour of Ireland to shoot with various photographers. She initially got in contact to see if I'd like to book her for a shoot and I explained that I had no jobs coming up with a budget for payment. I thought no more about it and then a few days later I got another email from her explaining she had a short notice cancellation and had some free time on her hands. She liked my work so was happy to waive her fee so that we could work together on TFP basis. As luck would have it I was free that evening so we arranged a shoot on really short notice with pretty much no plan in place.
Usually I do prefer to plan out some details in advance in terms of styling, location etc. Even if its just a rough idea it still helps to have a vague idea of the shots you want in advance. In this case I had nothing. It was literally a case of turning up to the hotel she was staying in and making do with whatever we had. I can clearly remember thinking it was going to be a challenge as it was easily the smallest hotel room I've ever seen in my life. I could pretty much extent my hands out and touch the walls on either end of the room in any direction. That's not ideal when trying to place lights and light stands.
Given the super short notice and tiny space to work in I was really happy with how the shots came out. Having a stunning model to shoot with definitely helped!!
small is ok when she is around
We struggled on. Still would have been nice to get a some extra space for the lights but we managed.
These are lovely. The whole thing from the model to the edit. That middle pic is my fave.
Yep kinda leaning towards that shot myself. Cheers dude!!

Nice photos 👍 check my new post and Upvote please 🙏
Now I want to see a wide shot of the behind the scenes--what the room looked like. Great shots :)
Love the shots and love her style! Model is absolutely perfect for the look ! Sometimes a challenge makes it more interesting as you then think about way to go around the problem. I sometimes notice small spaces can look nice in images as it feels you're really close to the model when looking back at the images and makes it more intense if you get what I mean :) Lovely work as always!!!
