Fashion Shoot at Duddington Manor

If you have read our blog before then you will know about Duddington Manor , which is owned by Nuala Forsey, a friend of ours. The manor is available for short-term lets and is a stunning location for special occasions, with some 9 bedrooms. When it is not being used for lets then Nuala is happy for us to use it for photography - how cool is that! We did a fashion shoot the other week in conjunction with Lincolnshire Pride (look out for the feature in the next issue). We did the shoot to promote our new portrait offers - purelifestyle and purewoman (more to come on those elsewhere) - and it is also great to try different things and have more time to get the shots we know can be created.

It was hard work for all but a great day - we had four photographers, 2 models and 12 changes of clothing (6 per model) to shoot and a constant supply of refreshments to keep us all going. We started about 11am and we finished up getting home for tea about 8pm. Here are a few of the pictures of Georgia, one of our models. The clothes were supplied by Sheila Tiller of Market Place, Long Sutton (call 01406 363433 for more information).


Here we are shooting, Sam with the camera, Rob & Emily (our two assistant photographers) helping with lighting and Rob the editor from Lincolnshire Pride holding a reflector. I bet you never knew how much work could go into a single picture.


And here is the finished result.


And outside....
