I haven't shot with Francesca for a few years now as we have both just been so busy and doing our own thing. But we planned the shoot and we are so happy with the results!
One of the main reasons I love shooting with Francesca is because she is so free. She knows exactly how her own body looks and how to use it. She isn't a model that needs to warm up. You know from the very first to the very last photo, each one is going to be perfect and work! What more can I say, its such a joy to have her back infront of my lens and its been a long time coming.
I also had my trusty stylist Alex Hardman working on the shoot who is such a trooper! That girl always pulls it out the bag and brings my shoots to life. The other great thing about working with Alex is that she brings more than you ask for. She thinks outside the box and adds that little extra to the shoot.
Sam Milletti was on the behind the scenes and I saw the very first cut today which should be up very soon and again what an amazing artist. You forget when you are so focussed on what you are doing that, whats going on around you. But he caught so many cute moments and really captured the fun that I have on my shoots.
With the photographs themselves I have seen so many shoot where they almost use B&W as a defualt and I knew this was something I wasn't going to do. I saw the images and although I liked them in B&W I stayed with the colour. Which took lots of guts. I feel people are too scared of colour but I really love colour and wanted to keep it in this shoot. I hope you like the photos even if you agree or disagree with me keeping them in colour.
So a massive THANK YOU to everyone involved and I can't wait for you all to see the video and see the images in issue two of Image 34. Click here to read the first issue.
Coming soon will be the video and shots from my shoot this coming Saturday with the gorgous Steph & Elena Hargreaves for promo work and their E.P cover.
Write soon
Michael
