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 brought along those boots and again the light was just perfect, I love when it comes together like that unexpectedly.

The last few shots were down at Dundee Riverside with an oil rig behind sarah to create some of that wonderful creamy back lighting. 

Set shot with… Canon 5d Mark II // Canon 35mm 1.4L // Canon 85mm 1.2L // Canon 135mm 2.0L // canon 430ex flash in 28 inch softbox

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 of the studio and exploring new locations, I find it a much more natural and rewarding experience for us and the model. Even with the colder weather we’re looking forward to stepping out more on shoots, we just have to find some new locations around Dundee and Angus, anyone have any ideas? 

These were shot in Carnoustie and Westhaven with … Canon 5d Mark II  //  Canon 35mm 1.4L  //  Canon 85mm 1.2L  //  Canon 135mm 2.0L  //  canon 430ex flash

Oh and we have a new website - please check it out and maybe book a shoot yourself. www.burfly.co.uk

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 and abstract shapes the area provided. View the whole set.

Equipment: Canon 35mm 1.4L // Canon 85mm 1.2L // canon 430ex // umbrella // elinchrom skyports
