A quick off the cuff shoot with the beautiful Rachael, whilst we were checking out this part- restored church for a forthcoming event in Glasgow. I love the fact we hadn’t planned it, yet she looks so together – complete with matching lipstick and nails. The day was overcast but still the light fell magically.

Profile…..Images Re-worked
The past few weeks have been silly busy with my full time photography job. I am literally in bed at nine thirty most evenings. No fun. Bags under eyes and as David keeps pointing out – I looked like a washed out rag. Selling it to you eh? Daily yoga has gone by the wayside and chocolate has come out in full force (four Easter eggs down – that didn’t belong to me).
I have quite a few shoots lined up for the Easter holidays and hope to be experimenting with a bit of analogue photography as well, with my (new to me) Olympus OM 1 – birthday present, Mothers Day and Valentines all rolled into one.
Whilst cataloguing some of my images – I took another look at profiles, reworked them a little in VSCO (also new to me).
All images taken on Olympus OMD EM1 with either a 25mm lens or 12-40mm lens.

Detail….Out of Focus and More Shoes I Don’t Own
A couple of my favourite images taken this past few days. Taken on Olympus OM-D EM1.
Tulips in my living room – finished but better than fresh. Decay always seems better with nature.
My new Mac lipstick. A little high maintenance for me. It means I actually have to check my appearance from time to time. Image taken in the loos of Flatplanet, Soho.
Nicholas Kirkwood shoes – not mine. Too big, too expensive for my budget. But lovely all the same.
Pinkston Watersports – Glasgow. Early one Sunday morning, out of focus but I prefer it.

Teamwork
I wanted to show you a few of my favourite images from this week’s shoot in Edinburgh. Aghogho and I work well together. We met about a year ago and quickly fell into a pattern. She rocks up with her suitcase overflowing with outfits, I choose the locations. She changes in toilets, changing rooms and sometimes alleyways. I grab tea and wait patiently. We try to avoid lingering in shops so not to make purchases. We make it up as we go along. Along the way we’ve become friends. Natural beauty and natural lights.

Work Revisited……Mirrors, I see a pattern
Looking back at some of my images, I see patterns. One of them is shooting incorporating reflections or mirrors. Why that is …….I have no idea. Some of the shots have been set up and some have just been observed. Does anyone else see patterns in their work?

Frost, Woodland and The Muffler
Here in Scotland it is frosty with a capital F. Mia was keen to wear her new headgear, which I’ve aptly named “The Muffler” and was willing to have some shots taken. A win-win all round.
We are so fortunate to have this country park literally on our doorstep. It was quiet this morning – only the odd dog walker, so we almost had the place to ourselves. Cold set in quick, Mia’s nose was starting to go red (not being one for photoshop or a moaning teenager) – we headed home after 20 minutes or so.

The Portrait Session #26…Softer
These ones of Katie during the same shoot but different location in Edinburgh this time are softer, less edgy. Again, I have used this location a couple of times as I love the way the light falls in the arches.
Today has been busy photography wise too – I covered a local charity event and had a very mini shoot (at the event) with a tiny gorgeous girl called Emily. I stuck with my 12-40mm lens today too. It’s growing on me.

The Portrait Session #25….In The Hood
Katie and I went to Edinburgh to take some shots for her college project. We managed, as us girls do, to squeeze in a rather nice lunch and a bit of shopping along the way. This shot was taken at the rooftop terrace of the Museum, one of my favourite locations. I used my 12-40mm lens on my Olympus OM-D EM-1 – I think I prefer shooting with a prime, rather than zoom.

The Portrait Session #23…….Working it
Today I hooked up with my friend, the newly married Aghogho of Zelda and Festus at Edinburgh’s Flea Market, where she was selling vintage clothing and her accessories line.
I drank tea. She sold her wares. We took images like we love to do.
Location – Blue Drill Hall, Edinburgh
