Good times.Creative Times

This year I have been very fortunate to have met some fantastic new people that I now call friends. In October I attended Damien Lovegrove's workshop in Tuscany where, alongside Chris Hanley they showed us how to make the most of natural light and create stunning images. It was a highlight of my photography journey so far and the friends I made on that workshop will be lifelong friends, I am sure of it. We all pined for each other when we returned home and it wasn't long before a little reunion was planned..the location was Chris' home in Stockport and he was cooking. Now considering Chris has been on Masterchef TWICE we all knew this was going to be something a bit special. And I am pleased to report he did not disappoint! I will skip over what happened that night (as I can't remember most of it hehe) but the next day we all arrived at Chris and Claire's studio a little worse for wear, that's all I will say!

We had two models for a few hours, Lisa and her cousin Heidi, who had joined us the night before so we were really looking forward to working with them and exploring the old factory building.

Now I wanted to do something a little different for this blog post and show you some completely unedited images. No re-touching, enhancing or cropping. This is exactly how I shot each and every image.

So let's meet the creative team first (minus myself as I forgot to get someone to take a picture of me!)

I just love these shots so much. All the better for the natural non edited look. You are the one to watch! Love, love, love.

Great stuff Karen, love that they're unedited too. Gives a really clean feel, and it means you nailed the exposure every single time. Brilliant!
