One of my recent weddings Holly & Mark is featured in Living North magazine this month, in their highly prestigious wedding supplement. It showcases some of the North East region’s best wedding photographers, in their real weddings section. This wedding guide is essential for newly engaged couples looking for ideas, inspiration and vendors to book for their own wedding day. Be sure to pick a up a copy!

Here’s what they say about themselves.

“Living North celebrates much of what is excellent about the North of England, from its glorious coastline, small niche businesses, heritage, food and numerous other attractions, from boutiques to bistros and much more besides. As such, the magazine is one of the most significant quality media outlets in the North East of England”-excerpt taken from living north website.

Well I’m always told I don’t post many male model portfolio shoots on my blog. Believe me, that is not because I don’t like posting male models, or cant be bothered to blog them, simply put, I rarely shoot them! Again that isn’t because I don’t like to, it just seems like there are not many males in the North East of England that are coming to me to have a photo shoot for a model portfolio. There really is a shortage of good male models in and around Newcastle. So if you are a guy reading this, and thinking about getting into modelling for a bit of extra cash, then get in touch with one of Newcastle’s major agencies and give it a go. Then if you get accepted give me a call and we can sort out your portfolio!!! (shameless plug).

So anyway on to today’s images.

What can I say about Afnan, if there is anyone determined to make it in the entertainment biz, it’s Afnan. A really nice bloke who was fun to work with and very easy to photograph (his mum was also great fun and made a great cuppa!). It was a pleasure to photograph his portfolio, and I wish him the best of luck in his acting career.

As always here’s my favourite photos from the session.

Another great day shooting gorgeous models in and around the North East of England, can’t be bad can it!

Alex came to us for a model portfolio as she his hoping to work as a model here in Newcastle to help see her through her education. With such strong features and an apparent likeness to Hollywood superstar Audrey Hepburn,  I’m sure she will go far.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

Anna came to us for some up dated pictures for her model portfolio last week, it was freezing cold but as we are hardy up north we battled through!! And it paid off to with some great images. We only had several hours with Anna so we shot around some of our favourite locations in Newcastle then up to the nice warm studio in Bedlington Northumberland. Once we got to the studio Anna really opened up (as she was no longer frozen solid!) resulting in some great studio fashion shots!

Here are a few of my favourites from the session.

OK its been a while since I posted any pics of wee Callum ! He is now at the perfect age for great photographs as he is walking and very much into everything ( especially DVDs of bob the builder!!!) As I spent the weekend with Callum ( He’s family) it meant lots of opportunities to catch him at play. I much prefer to photograph children this way as opposed to in a studio, as they are far more relaxed and unaware of the camera and I think the overall feel of the images are simply leagues above studio images. So these are my favourites from the weekend I know I’ve made Callum’s mummy and daddy very happy and two sets of grandparents too!! Extra brownie points for me!!

Bailey (my black labrador) and winston have grown up together, and have played together since they were tiny pups! this sunday i promised winstons mum i would photograph their morning walk around the big waters nature reserve in northumberland. I new it wouldn’t be an easy task as when these two are together they are in their own little world! so rather than try and pose them we just let them play and i would photograph them in action. i think i did a pretty good job of capturing their fun. heres a few of my favourite pictures of them at play.

Amy came to us for a portfolio after winning miss sunday sun 2008. one of the north easts long running model competitions, which gives the girls great exposure by being published in the sunday sun news paper. We spent the day with Amy shooting  a variety of locations and studio images to make her a wonderful model  portfolio to get her started in the  world of modelling. Amy has a great attitude and is very personable, we wish her the best of luck with her modelling.

a few years ago i done some pics of a lovely girl called stefanie Eddy

Recently Stefanie was scouted whilst on a shopping trip at Gateshead’s metro centre and was asked if she would like to be on sky TV’s hit show britains next top model. this is a huge break for stefanie and we wish her all the luck in the world and will be watching her do her thing with britains up and coming modeling talent. lets hope she fly’s the flag for north east models. heres the link to the story

tracy came to us to get some images updated for her webpage with AM-Models

she was a pleasure to work with and made my job easy, she’s a natural in front of the camera, i hope she goes on to have successful career in modelling. All the shots were taken in our Bedlington (Northumberland) studio within a matter of hours! all in all I think we gave Tracy a great set of images to enhance her portfolio.

Well its been a busy summer shooting model portfolios for some of the north east’s up and coming faces, so ive selected a few of my favourites for you to see!

most of the models here have now been signed to AM-models and are gaining work in newcastle and the surrounding areas of north east england.

ive often walked around my local tesco’s and noticed a new model i have worked with on a front cover of a magazine,( usually local to the north east area) ! or in the local newspapers, its nice to no they are succeeding in their modelling careers.

anyway here’s a selection of my favourite images from the last few months.
