Black on Black

Whilst Annie was out in Oxford celebrating the birthday of a good friend and enjoying the Oxfordshire Christmas Artweeks, I (Chris) headed into West London for a fashion and portrait photography workshop with expert in this field, Dan Kennedy. It was an excellent day, a great mix of informal chat and guidance together with some actual shooting with a variety of setups and opportunity to experiment. The full team included costume, make-up and hair stylists as well as a pair of very patient models. Also there were fellow blippers Matthew Hicks and Mark H, it was good to catch up. Plenty of photos to pick from but I liked this one as it had a bit of character, a good reminder that talking and having a bit of a laugh with your subject in these situations often produces the most interesting photos.

After the workshop it was a drive out of London to join the birthday celebrations in Oxford and a fabulous Indian takeaway. A good day.
