Yes it's me yet again lol :-)

Another fantastic shoot with my dear friend Russ.

Russ came to mine for a change as it was far to cold to go out on location. As Russ has never really shot low key lighting we decided that we'd shoot some today . Using props that were silver and shiny so that they were the focal point of the image . So with our combined bits and bobs and using some innovative lighting we began to shoot.

As I'd learnt about how to do certain poses I wanted to share them with Russ. So with a wee bit of muscle wrenching poses and the correct lighting we began to form images that had shapes and shadows with my poses and Russ's exceptional lighting skills . Russ worked harder than me today . I had the pleasure of spending my time on the floor lol

Poor Russ was running around like a headless chicken . He worked so hard I feel a tad guilty. Hmmm do I !!! Haha :-)

I absolutely love working with Russ. It's professional but the main thing is we have fun when we shoot together . Russ and I have such a fantastic rapport. Everything just falls into place when we shoot . Pre shoot comms always spot on . :-)

As Russ normally feeds me and makes sure there's plenty of coffee for me when we're out on location. I prepared lunch for us and we had a pudding too :-) .

From what I've seen at the back of the camera we smashed our shoot as per usual. I can't wait to see the finished edits. I did give Russ about 8 numbers to start editing asap. As I want to show off our hard work today . Fireworks 💥 💥💥💥and champagne 🥂 🥂🥂🥂plz .

Had my first shoot with the absolutely wonderful RussB, Russ replied to my casting call last week and he knew exactly what I was wanting to achieve. His pre shoot communication was absolutely amazing, we talked in depth about what we want to shoot, what locations were good to use ect. So on the day of the shoot Russ texted me to let me know he was on his way down to me, we then drove back up to Brighton for our location that we were shooting at. The shoot flowed so well, moving through set to set, I was climbing up rocks, curling up into a small ball, and fighting the cold with some beautiful art nude. And to see the back of camera images they are fantastic. I had an absolutely fun filled day and I am so happy I was lucky enough to shoot with Russ.

I highly recommend him to everyone!

Today Russ and i celebrated a shoot anniversary. November 2016 was when I first met my dear friend . To celebrate we went back to Northington . This time the weather was with us. The sun shone all afternoon. So Russ had me running around chasing shadows he wanted to shoot them lol :-)

I'm sure his twin turned up as ive never seen Russ runaround so much in such a short space of time . I don't know who was most tired at the end of the shoot . He also managed to persuade me to keep my clothes on for most of the shoot . The first set I really struggled to come to terms with being overly dressed hee hee. After a while I knew Russ was adamant I'd have to stay dressed or he'd go on strike lol 😂

In return I was rewarding with a seriously fattening cake. Oooo ot was to die for . The cream oozed out yum yum haha .

This was my second time working with russ and I had a fantastic day! Russ is a very lovely man and brilliant photographer. He met me at the station and he drove us to different locations in Portsmouth. Weather was perfect for our shoot and we got some great shots. Russ was very kind and thoughtful bringing tea/coffee and some sandwiches for the both of us, he's very much a gentlemen. I would definitely recommend working with russ one of the best shoots I've had and I had so much fun :) can't wait to work with him again!

This is a belated reference, but I had a fantastic third shoot with the lovely Russb a couple of weeks ago. He kindly took me to one of his favourite locations, which was an absolutely wonderful place, perfect for classical ballet and art nude, which are the main genres I specialise in, and demonstrates his eye for spotting photogenic locations, and also matching the location to the model. I can only second everything ChelseaChick states in her reference below. Russ is a considerate, honest gentleman and a real pleasure to work with. I'm very happy with the images from our shoot, and hope we will work together again at the same location, as there is much potential there both for ballet and classical/Hellenic art nude.

Highly recommended. :)

Meet RussB and Chelseachick in the car park to our island where I found them to be pleasant and eager to get started. After showing them to the first of their shooting locations I left them to set up the studio as rain was expected. Did meet up with them again later for a coffee and a chat where I found out that they both have a passion for their art. I would recommend RussB to any model.

I worked with russ on my second photoshoot of the day at the stopham vineyard, and I would definitely recommend him he's a great photographer to work with, and he came up with so many ideas from climbing up crates and getting pictures high up and different poses, he taught me a lot in the small amount of time we had :) would love to work with him again!

I worked with Russ as part of a charity shoot it took a while to get to the site so we didn't have as much time as we would have wished. Nevertheless in the short time that we did have we got some fantastic shots. Russ directs well and I felt very comfortable. He also did some great post shot editing. I would like to shoot with Russ again and have much more time to work on many more ideas

Another superb shoot with Russ today (Panama Pete) lol :-)

As per usual went went to not only 1 location but I was treated to 2. Firstly we went to Balcombe Viaduct. Wow I thought it was bloody awesome there. I'm glad Russ remembered the ladders as I wouldn't of got up . I love that set. 2 of our images from that set speak for themselves.

We then headed down to the beach . The weather was with us for the first time . We captured some awesome images . I'm 100% happy with the edits I've had so far .

It's always such a pleasure shooting with Pete . He's so funny whacky personality a real gentleman and totally professional :-)

Russ always treats me to lunch which is so kind of him. The best part is when he gets memy favourite cakes. Portuguese custard tarts. Wow they are to die for . Make sure you get yours ordered in lol .

I absolutely love spending a good few hours with Pete .

Wholeheartedly recommended by lil ole me .

See you soon

Chels :-)

I would like to express my appreciation to Russ for attending my annual charity group shoot at Stopham Vineyard on 16 July, and for his contribution to the day. Thank you. Forever the professional!

Pocotoria

I had another utterly fabulous shoot with Russ, this time at the Stopham Vineyards charity shoot day.

He is so incredible to work with, always good fun filed with brilliant ideas!

This shoot in particular stood out as we created a ( hopefully ) really arty fun concept - i truly can't wait to see the results!

As always a true gentleman, professional and fun. Pre shoot comms were fabulous as was he.

I can't recommend Russ enough A+++++

Had yet another wonderful shoot with Russ.

Russ turned up a little early so we could have a cuppa and catch up.

He is extremely easy to work with, friendly, chatty and knows exactly what he wants from the images.

Would highly recommend to any model

Thanks

Shoot 15 in the bag and what another fab shoot it was. Was so lovely to see Russ again after almost a year from our last shoot but as we work together so well it was automatic to get into the flow of things.

As I always say I enjoy shooting with him, we get on so well, we have lots of laughs and the shoots always flow smoothly. I'm very much looking forward to our 16th shoot!!

I've said it before and I am more than happy to say it again, I very highly recommend him!

Had a brilliant second shoot with Russ on a recent studio weekend at Sandon Studio.

Though I hadn't seen Russ for around 5 years, I was instantly comfortable in his company - he is genuine, down to earth and respectful.

Though it was a busy couple of days, Russ brought a great energy to our shoot which was contagious :) He captures your best side without you even trying, and is versatile with different spaces and sets.

Love working with Russ and absolutely recommend him!

Only me again :-)

Another excellent shoot with Russ today . Pre shoot comms excellent as always.

Russ has has endless amounts of locations he uses to suit all weathers :-) . Yet again the weather let us down so we decided to use an old barn where we were out of the cold weather and rain .

The barn was absolutely fantastic with so much character about it . The derelict walls ,window openings ,doorways and natural light coming through in different areas of the roof . Someone had left two great big branches inside which I decided to use as props :-)

We did a number of sets but couldn't do all we'd set out to do as Russ had an app so we worked quickly and hard to develope some outstanding images . ;-)

Russ and I decided that I'd bring very little to the shoot outfits wise as we always end up with me running around naked haha. :-) . However I did bring a white sheer long dress that worked beautifully in one particular set against the branches.

Russ has become a dear friend to me now . We've built up such a great rapport our shoots just flow by. He's a gentleman. I couldn't fault Russ in anyway what so ever . He's a little diamond 💎.

Russ is extremely passionate about his photography and is totally professional.

There's not a lot more I can say as I've said itime and time again in other refs.

I absolutely 💯 % wholeheartedly recommend my dear friend as always.

See you in a couple of weeks Russ :-)

Thanks again

Chels :-)

Had an absolute blast shooting vintage on a group shoot at the art asylum group shoot yesterday. Pre communication was fab and lead to a well planned and laid back shoot. Although we didn't have very much time together we quickly produced a great set of both fashion and lingerie images and Russ was a complete gentleman throughout. Easy to chat to and I would highly recommend.

Lady Molly

First time I have met and worked with Russ at the art asylum group shoot. We spoke before the day and agreed on a subject matter and on the day Russ chose what he preferred. We had a few problems with power so didn't get too much time to shoot but I found Russ a complete gentleman with a lovely personality and very easy going. The genre we chose was a bit outside my comfort zone and something I hadn't tried before but I'm looking forward to seeing some results and I would recommend Russ and hope to work with him again.
