Loving the colours and strong contrast with this pic. So glad we decided to make the most of Goose fair as a backdrop. I really enjoyed this photo shoot. Even though the image originally came out quite dark, a bit of magic in photoshop soon lifted the highlights.

Had great fun today working with Lou lou. I thought she looked so cool I had to ask her if she fancied a photo shoot. As soon as she realised I wasn’t chatting her up we were fine. I’m so glad I plucked up the courage as we are both really happy with the final result. I achieved this look with one umbrella (to soften the light) to the right of the camera, natural light coming from the window, left of the camera and a macro ring flash mounted on a 100mm macro lens. Finally a little bit of post production in Photoshop to add that final touch. We have already planned our next shoot with the goose fair amusement rides as a backdrop, should be interesting, Lou lou was such a pleasure to work with.
