This is going to be quite a short one as from early on in November the whole of England went back into a national lockdown and there wasn’t much I could do photography wise. However, I did manage to get out on a few occasions before that was put in place.

• I worked with Jade on my headshot project, another one that I’d been wanting to get done for a while, it was just finding a time that we could do it. Staying pretty local to where Jade lives, we walked around to find a few different locations and despite the wind giving us a few issues on the day, we managed to get what we needed in quite a short amount of time. Must sort out another shoot with Jade when we’re allowed to go back out again.
• Next up was an event at Meadows Camera Club and we had Hayley with us who brought along her hoop and aerial silks. Amazing skills and was a great opportunity to capture some images. She also had a body stocking with her, which was interesting to try out and see what we could do with it.
• With Creative Photography Events there was an event titled ‘Into the Foggy Woods’, in which we worked with Alice O’Donnell using dry ice. I’d done a shoot like this before, but think I got some better photos on this one due to the last time being a bit of a new technique and I didn’t really know what to expect.
• I worked with Chloe on a shoot where the main thing I wanted to try out was using my projector, but we also had a few other things to shoot, including using some body stockings and coloured gels.
• One of my favourite people to work with is Charliee, and it’s been a while since I last worked with her so thought I’d rectify that. With a national lockdown being announced, knowing it would be my last shoot for a while, I thought I’d make it longer than originally planned. There aren’t many people I’d organise pretty much a full day shoot with, but I knew we’d get a ton of usable images from it. We started out working on a couple of my projects, using sheer fabrics and a lighting setup which works well nude black and white images, then went to using coloured gels and adding in my projector for some setups. So many images that look great and are usable straight out of camera, it’s going to take me a while to fully go through this sessions images and I already want to sort out another shoot with her.
• During lockdown, the only time I went out with some form of camera was when I took my DJI drone out to capture a sunset. I purchased my drone at the beginning of the year with the aim to take it out a few times over the summer, but with everything that’s going on, that didn’t happen. I’m not too interested in flying it around much, just want something to send up, grab a few photos and then come back down. I did this for the sunset, as the drone was up in the air for about 5 minutes.
