Thank you to Rachel for another amazing shoot and the above photo of me and the lighting set up that we used to create all the images in this blog – which is quite image heavy, you can also find the rest of the images here.

We didn’t have long to shoot due to me waiting in for a ASOS order then missing my train, leading to a long text journey, then the longest train ride ever to get home due to a landslip!  Just like our last shoot in Birmingham, Rachel did her own make up. Styling was a little but by me and a little bit by Rachel.  We had no particular reason to shoot other than having photos of this stunning lady is never going to be a bad thing and I still have the pre-production 16-55mm lens from Fuji. Test shoots are the best way to try new things, test out and refine ideas that you can role over into work, plus I have  really enjoying testing and pushing this lens too.

Rachel Bowler @ Alan Sharman http://www.alansharmanagency.com/view.php?id=1807 The lighting set up’s were very simple as they were either natural light as with the image immediately below or most likely using the 170mm octabox from Light Green.

The very sexy harness and stocking holders in the first images was from Malice Lingerie.
