It's been good to get back to what I enjoy. 📸 Hoping to finally pin some time down to do some studio based work. Volunteers would be amazing 🥰
↔️ I favour the process as two way, it isn't about me guiding you throughout, it's about your own ideas also, and accommodating for those. Where there's a difference of ideas and opinions, there lies challenge and compromise.
🛠️ I like to photograph people as they are, so when I'm editing, I don't go in heavily, fixing, tweaking everything because I'm not looking for perfection, when it's about creating the best image of you. I work with a minimalist kit that enables me to do so, and create the images I have made so far.
⚡ I thrive not on the energy of a room full of people, but on intimate and one to one settings, so you seldom find me covering events. This means my attention is yours, and it is not at the mercy of a room of people
A little quiet on the photo front, so been experimenting with some self portraits.
Back on the editing floor this evening. Shame I haven't got a pup or boy to indulge whilst they're down there 😈
Back this evening at Manchester Leathermen social to bootblack and get my hands dirty once more 😋
Howdy. 🤠 Been having fun wearing these leather jeans and boots, especially now it's gotten a little colder.
Hoping to confirm the potential shooting schedule for Manchester Leather Weekend in the upcoming month or so.
I'm not always the best with my words when it comes to speaking but I know from my experiences in the leather scene that what I'm doing is my means of giving back full circle as a Bootblack.
Swapped the Harley Davidsons on for a bit whilst I edit. Shame the gap between them is pretty unoccupied. 👢
Cowboying up in a little leather and the New Rock cowboy boots. Definitely feeling the vibe. Anyone want a taste? 😈
A little behind on posting but I've been busy with getting back to life in the day job. Rubber weekend debuted my first time working with a 35mm lens and the results have been incredible. I'm looking forward to the next chance I get to use this lens. Shoots are available evenings and weekends.
Added new boots to my collection over the last few weeks. The Chippewas were a surprise that I'm astounded fit, the Harley Davidsons feel pretty good and I'm stunned to finally have a flame pair of boots that have been on my list for a while.
New boots arrived on Monday, and surprisingly, they're a perfect fit!
New (to me) pair of New Rock cowboy boots fit surprisingly well. They need a little bit of TLC but they're easily ready for action! 😈
Keeping my eagle eyes on these today, hopefully these beauties will be in my hands (or preferably my feet!)
