Scarlett on location
Our location shoot with Scarlett, was the only day in the last week or so that’s been dull and grey, typical! Still the weather didn’t stop us and we even managed a few bikini shots, must be nuts. Scarlett is from the states so love the first set with US flag top and love the new location we’ve found in carnoustie, i’m sure there will be loads of shoots...

Sarah Nov 3
We’re all very happy with this set, was a joy to do. The dress, the setting and of course sarah are all lovely. Shot at Crombie Country Park we certainly got a few strange looks from passers by but who cares with results like these. Thanks to Gilly and Sarah for a very productive shoot day. Set shot with… Canon 5d Mark II // Canon 35mm 1.4L // Canon 85mm 1.2L // Canon 135mm 2.0L...

Sarah Nov 2
2nd shoot with Sarah (actually the 3rd but i’m keeping the best till last). The first few were shot on a big hay truck in the middle of a field in Carnoustie just as the sun was going down, couldn’t stay long as we were getting bitten alive and my car was close to being stuck in the mud… it’s so glamorous this business! Sarah was rocking the cowgirl look, lucky she...

Taylor
Taylor came to us looking to kick off her portfolio with some great shots and to see if it would be something she enjoyed and would like to take further. For someone who hasn’t modelled before she was the most natural and relaxed i’ve ever seen, obviously been watching way too much Britains Next Top Model. This is one of my favourite shoots so far, getting out...

Catriona Rennie Shoot 1 October 2011
Haven’t shot with Catriona for such a very long time, she was part of our second ever shoot a few years back and it was so good it inspired us and gave us the confidence to take on more shoots, was great to see her again and so chuffed she chose us to do her first shoot after having a baby. Started off simple then headed out for some autumn fun…oh so cold and wet… but...

Stephanie Shoot
A few shots from a shoot a few weeks back with my big cousin Stephanie, these were taken for her birthday and we had a blast, Kirsty Miller who also knows Steph helped out with the makeup and pampering, thanks to everyone. The full set is over on my photo diary as usual. If you have an important birthday coming up why not think about a burfly shoot.

ABX beauty photoshoot
Last weekend was spent shooting Hazel and Gracie from Colours Modelling Agency Glasgow, the shoot was split into 2 days. The client was ABX Beauty Ltd who are based in Perth. The reason for the lengthy shoot was that Burfly was shooting the whole process from start to finish for individual eyelash extensions for 2 girls, what an incredibly involved and time consuming process...

An hour on the Royal Mile 2011
We always manage to get back to the fringe since we moved away from Edinburgh a few years ago so this year was no exception, my favourite time of year but we did only stay on the Royal Mile for about an hour since it was Jack’s first visit, we reigned him in gently. The National Museum of Scotland proved a much bigger success, there were dinosaurs and cheese rolls of course. Below are a...

Sarah 14/04/11
Great great great shoot with Sarah Robertson - haven’t seen her in so long, she hadn’t modelled for a while but it took her no time at all to get back in the swing despite the freezing temperatures. Assisted as usual by Gilly who does a wonderful job of blethering and choosing outfits. These were shot around the Verdant Works area of Dundee, I like the strong use of colour...

Elaine Shoot 2 - 27/02/11
Worth waiting for? I’m pretty stoked about this shoot. The 85L is hard to get to grips with, quite a few images not as sharp as i’d wish but the creamy backgrounds and general look and colour of the images are more than worth it. Again all shot with just one light setup. Check out the whole shoot over in our photo diary and come say hi on facebook.

Elaine shoot 1 - 27.02.11
Shoot with Elaine Ford and our first of 2011 after taking a huge break and boy what a way to start our year off. Hopefully the rest of the year can be as productive. thanks to Ally Deacon for the amazing job with the hair.  These were all shot with one small strobe light - a canon 430ex inside a 28inch westcott apollo softbox, it still amazes me what can be achieved with such a simple...

Maisie Location Photoshoot, Dundee
Love getting out of the studio, always checking the weather and itching to go exploring. These are my favourite style of shots, outdoors, having fun and interacting with the environment, I think it gives the model and us something to do and it certainly puts a smile on the faces of the passers by. (At night in a back alley with stockings on, ha ha). Using only one light keeps things simple,...

Maisie Donaldson Studio
Long awaited shoot with Maisie Donaldson from Falkirk, all very last minute middle of the week evening stuff but came together very nicely in the end. Using the monster 5 foot octabox and beauty dish. Not much room left in the studio what with the octabox and heavily pregnant wife helping out. :) Couldn’t do it without you though Gilly! Maisie is a great model to work with, any...

Edfringe 2010
A trip through to Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the day, I miss living there especially at this time of year. Love the people, the atmosphere, the city backdrop…don’t love the hiked up prices or traffic, but you can’t have everything. We only really get through once a year now and cram loads into one day but it’s worth it, coming away with memories which...

Alan & Co | Location photoshoot Dundee
HAPPY with this shoot - it’s great to do something a bit different from my usual style. Alan and his mate were great - effortless and oh so cool. Sarah also had fun experimenting with makeup. The location turned out to be a bit dodgy so it wasn’t one of my longest shoots but definitely one of my more productive. Our little team is developing well… we are available for all sorts of shoots...

Sarah and Graeme | location photoshoot Dundee
Had a spate of cancellations recently but the wonderful sarah once again stepped in to save the day - she also brought along cage fighter graeme who did great for his first time modelling - it was our first shoot with a guy too so a day of experimenting with lighting and a great laugh was had by all. Some of my favourite shots ever in this set.

Maz got in touch recently through Model Mayhem, she’s really funny if a little crazy :) i felt bad cause it took her around 3 hours to get from Ayr to Dundee on the megabus with bags full of props and clothes… she soon perked up though and was great to work with. First attempt at lighting using a ringflash (a cheapy ebay one at that). I Found it pretty difficult and not my usual style but some...
