Spanish Eyes

The shoot with Lucia took place just two weeks ago. A two week period that feels more like a lifetime than two weeks. I won't bore you with the details suffice to say that it's been a fortnight of mixed emotions.

It was a day of mixed weather, couldn't seem to make up it's mind if it wanted to be sunny or to threaten a downpour or two. We'd started at the apartment that Lucia was soon to vacate - her living room already totally empty. The only problem there was the ceiling - at about 6foot3 heigh it was impossible for me to stand up straight in it, being 6foot6! Managed a few shots before we moved on. Netley Abbey was our destination.

The great thing about Netley Abbey (and I'd go so far as to say any outdoor location) is the options it gives the photographer looking for different backgrounds.
In fact my next blog will feature another 2 or 3 shots taken here with a different model. As couples, kids, and dog walkers roam around the ruins, Lucia and I view them almost as interlopers in our studio. Goodness only knows what they make of us!

Working with Lucia was great, and we found several ideas/themes/backgrounds that worked really well, and we were both really pleased with. You'll see Netley Abbey again in my next blog, but a new model and different views.
