I had never worked with Carla before, I’ve seen her work and knew she was often up in Scotland but I never had the chance to get to work with her. So when the pandemic hit it gave me an opportunity to create something remotely when Carla set up some scenes in her home. Again I was trying to work on a specific editing technique this time with subtle pale colours.

The lighting and techy bits were set up by Adrian Crook

A quick change of hair style, accessories and props……and something fluffy!

Another change for some mono work….

Our final scene was a complete change of set…basically a different room altogether, already set up with drapes and props.

I loved the images from this remote shoot, Carla was lovely to work with and Adrian was chatty, helpful and friendly during the shoot set ups. Hopefully at some point we can get a 1-2-1 shoot, however the world is topsy turvy at the moment so who knows when. Anyways, I highly recommend a remote shoot with Carla, fabulous set ups, props and clothes….and of course model.

So quickly moving on from my first remote shoot, Ivory Flame and I got together for another remote shoot. This shoot being a little different from before because I had a specific editing style that I wanted to try out and as such the setup, props and poses were constructed accordingly by Ivory Flame, who did a lovely job with the colours and fabrics.

It wasn’t long before we got underway with a rich purple fabric…

Moving on to some sparkles and pearls….

And then a rich red….

Some floaty sheer greeny yellow green green in a yellow green sheer way….

We changed things around and added more props and changed the backdrop, keeping the same ‘feel’ for the final set of the shoot.

Ivory Flame has done a lot of work to turn her home into a lovely studio, with a wide range of sets and costumes. The lighting is lovely and the colours are rich and vibrant, with all her clothes and accessories at hand the possibilities are almost endless. And of course working with a top model means stunning images are guaranteed.

I would encourage all photographers to get the Ivory Flame remote experience, for those who have never worked with Ivory Flame you are definitely missing out on something very special.

So the pandemic had been a whole year by the time I got on to doing remote shoots, many models and photographers had already started doing remote shoots for a while. For me personally I used the pandemic to give myself a creative break for a while. During 2020 I did very few shoots, much less than usual. In March 21 I decided it was time to get back into the swing of things and try out some remote shoots, fortunately for me Artemis had some time available for a remote shoot. It didn’t take long to get going as Artemis had everything all set up ready to go. We started with some pink fluff!…

Then moving on the some orange and cream colours….

Then some Lingerie….something I haven’t got many images of…..

And lastly some nudes and the peacock chair…..

So this was my first remote shoot and very enjoyable it was, once you get the hang of controlling the remote camera the shoot is a breeze. Of course Artemis made it easy to do and guided me through the initial set up. The results were high quality images sent via dropbox and it gave me a taste for doing it again. Plus it’s always good to catch up with Artemis anyway and discuss a possible ‘reality’ shoot for August. If you are thinking of dipping your toes into a remote shoot then doing so with Artemis is highly recommended.
