Many will know that I have felt a little uninspired lately, so it was great when Leila asked if she could come and shoot again today.
She’s 7 months pregnant and wanted to do something so that she could remember this great time in her life — but NOT do the cliché Demi Moore shot!
Armed with just my bathroom, kitchen and a smoke machine I managed to produce 3 or 4 different styles for her today.
I take my hat off to her for being such a great and willing model — She was feeling very unsure of herself as her figure had changed so dramatically over the last few months — I hope you like them and give her the support she deserves for her courageousness
Did a shoot at the weekend with Holly D for her own website = http://www.Iloveholly.com . Whilst there I saw this Gothic Throne in one of the rooms .. Just had to shoot her against it.
There are a few more pics from this set on my sister website Sex-In-Suburbia however, you will have to register to see them. Registration cost just £1 and is payable by Paypal.

I shot this series with Felicia in my kitchen. The back drop is a painted canvas.
I placed a studio strobe low to the floor behind the model, then applied a blue gel to the reflector.
Next I set off a smoke machine to give some blur and atmosphere to the set.
Her face and body were lit with a fill flash through a large Bowens box diffuser.
I really liked the result but thought it would look even better with a little photoshop magic to create an HDR effect using a Topaz Labs plugin, then removing some of the grain with Neat Image.
Some people make life worth living. It is no secret that I have been going through a low these last few weeks… Health problems, Website problems, model problems…. But C-J & Kate came to visit at the weekend and made me feel so good about my work again…
Couple of hours shoot in the Nags Head – A few beers with Karl, then meet up at the Hobgoblin to put the world right over a pint or two of Rev James beer! — Gary from First Studios joined us for a brilliant night of fun, chat and soul searching…
I love shooting couples .. you get so much real emotion when two people are obviously so much in love.
Still looking for more “couples” to work with in 2010 – get in touch!
This is an extract from an email I received today from Sahrona — What a beautiful woman!
Hi Mark! I can’t wait to be back home to put on the cd with the photos.
While we have dinner I put some good music on and the photosets running…it is amazing the work you’ve done!
Don’t misunderstood me…I know your great art but seeing myself in it it’s still unbelievable,you really take out a side of me I don’t even know to have!(like in the boy/girl or in the bounded one)
You make me feel really comfortable and I really appreciate your conception of the details(as when you put my hair or the various objects on my body).
What else to say,I told you 3 years ago I was saving your pictures on my pc and now I’m part of it!
Anyway thank you again for everything,for your professionality and your friendship after that the shoots were done,it was great having a drink and a relax talk together!
