October


September was a dead month with the Open Studios and worky type stuff but Oct brought young KatieL back to Scotland, she was actually bringing her mum up for a long weekend stay in our cottage but a days shoot was a must for us both.
Half a day out in the wilds for portfolio and calendar images and the weather was .... well... 'extremely Scottish Autumn' .... damp, windy and cold, great for some truly atmospheric images. 

Back to the warmth and shelter of the studio for the afternoon, heaters on and time to do some arty figure stuff for another wee project using the body for some layered imagery plus a few portfolio portraits.





I have probably bored folk with this before but what I love about Katie is her energy and enthusiasm for experimentation, play and her dance.

For once the days shots were pretty much planned in more detail than normal as I had specific images in mind so there's no better way to end the session with letting her do her stuff, no script, no direction, just kick loose .. love it !


Thanks again Katie, lets hope we can arrange those sessions for next spring.... and it was great to meet Mum.
