RobinsonPhotography responded to a casting call I put out, looking to expand his experience of working with male models, and came up with a great suggestion for a location, which sparked ideas on both sides for possible scenarios. Unfortunately, illness prevented my suggestion to expand this to a duo shoot with a model I have worked with before, but Jamie was happy to adapt and go with the original plan for a solo shoot. On the day, we met at his house before heading to the location, and from the start, Jamie was really enthusiastic and positive and we seemed to quickly develop a good rapport. Once the shoot was underway communication was almost instinctive. Despite telling me when we first met that he was relying on my experience to lead the way, as this was the first such shoot he had done, he had plenty of good ideas, and a great eye for the right angle to make the most of the location and the model. He gave clear instructions while keen to get my input too.
Despite struggling with some IT issues which meant a slight delay in editing the images, Jamie produced some excellent final photos which really captured the grimy atmosphere of the location with great use of lighting, filters etc.
I would not hesitate to work with Jamie again and hope the chance will come up soon as I'm sure even better things could come from further collaboration..
Highly recommended - apart from being a talented photographer he is a great guy to work with - very friendly and likeable with a good sense of humour which made the whole shoot a pleasure... and his partner makes a mean mug of tea!
