May 2011 Fashion Tests - Elke Bonner @ Bookings

This shoot was with model Elke Bonner @ Bookings model agency. It was styled by Bonnie Carr, who also designed these lovely outfits. Having good quality clothes to work with makes such a big difference and Elke posed wonderfully in Bonnie's clothes. The makeup artist was Lesley Vye, who did a great job of creating a natural, low key look.

As we know, fashion shots are all about the clothes - I know a lot of people try to style shoots themselves but honestly having someone on the shoot that knows about the clothes; how they move, how the material falls and how the outfits should best be worn makes a huge difference and I hope to work with stylists a lot more often!

We were blessed with good weather and able to shoot in Lesley's friends garden. The feel for the shoot was girly, feminine and clean to compliment the floral patterns on the clothing and the pretty garden made the perfect setting for this.

Here are some of the final images from the shoot 
(NB: the colours are much better quality on the versions on my site!)
