Talent Spotting

One of my greatest strengths as a professional is that I have always been good at talent spotting. In my career as a judo coach as well as in the world of photography.

I shot a set of images for the wonderful Elena Davidson for her Dance and Cheerleading Group at Northumbria University here in my studio and noticed one of the dancers Hattie Joynes.

I just thought she had such a great look, we had a conversation. I asked Hattie about her thoughts on modelling and she said she would love to do a session.

This first session was a sitting for my camera club. One of the participants in my camera club asked if we could shoot something from the 60’s or 70’s. I got in touch with Hattie and we had a chat about what sort of fashion pieces she already had in her wardrobe and she put together a fashion set that was perfect for what we needed.

As always, Alexandra came up with the perfect look for the theme of the photoshoot with her hair and makeup!
