Had a great shoot this week so I thought I’d share some images and insights.
I organised the shoot with a fairly local professional model; there were no hard and fast plans, we simply headed for the Alps with the intention of getting some mountain lifestyle shots.
Although there were no specific requirements I never undertake a shoot without having quite a few planned shots, so I’d spent the previous week sketching image ideas as they came to me. For an easy-going shoot like this I’m not obsessional about actually getting all the shots that I’ve noted, but they do give me a starting point once on location, and from there I allow the shoot to evolve.

Each and every aspect of a successful photograph is important – the concept, the subject, the intention, the planning, the lighting, the composition, the final presentation, the list goes on and on….
