Amy Lewis Dead Giraffe Shoot

I’ve been wanting to get into shooting models for clothing companies and the like, for some time now. I had a few lined up but nothing concrete.

Then on 2nd December this yea Southampton was ‘dumped’ on with a whole bunch of snow. Obviously my first thought was to see who was about to shoot some flicks. Luckily I had been talking with Jay at Dead Giraffe Clothing about doing some photos and as he lived well close I got some T’s and got the extremely aesthetically talented Amy Lewis on the blower! She’s was at work but had an hour for lunch for the shoot. 

Luckily the snow in my back garden hadn’t been touched so we set up and got bloody cold!

Being used to shooting bands, it was refreshing to work with someone who actually likes being photographed, and knows how to do said thing. I set up a pose, got the lighting right (after one of my many things that can go wrong, did) and Amy just started posing. It was great. Usually I have 4 or 5 awkward looking nerds in front of me who are all thinking ‘I’m in a band, I don’t have to look good’…. Let me tell you, you ruddy do! But with this I only had to give a couple of ideas, I just shoot away. 

I was really into the results and as far as I know Jay and Amy were digging them as well.
