The Quite Delightful Project: Photoshoot.
You may have seen some of our recent blog recent posts mentioning the test photoshoots that Katherine Jane Wood and I have been – quite literally – immersing ourselves in over the past two weeks.
Well, for those that might be interested, here’s some outtakes from our adventure…
I’m no Baywatch Babe but I was somehow persuaded to feature in a shoot for the erotic confessions journal that we are currently working on. Both Katherine Jane Wood and I got our kit off, partially dodged the dog walkers passing by (who were all so clearly not stealing any glances whatsoever), and then pretended we weren’t cold for about two hours, whilst the sun set over the beautiful beach – Studland – on the UK’s South Coast.
Not once, but twice!
The initial/test shoot was actually at Hengistbury Head in Bournemouth, and was probably the coldest I’ve ever been. The shoot was quick and we encountered a few hurdles that were only realised at the time of the shoot – at 10.00pm, when it was both too dark to see what we were doing and with waves vigorous enough to ensure that we ended up a little bruised and battered.
You can see an image from this shoot at the bottom of this post.
The second time around was a little less nerve wracking and we were able to take our time. The sea was calm and we could explore different poses and ideas (or just do cartwheels to keep warm).
Katherine even coerced me to join her for a swim (wherein her self-portrait skills enabled me to be able to offer you an image of that too!)
Anyway, here are some shoot outakes for your amusement!
…and I’m sure that we will be showcasing the best of this project very shortly.

Here’s another image to inspire our photoshoot this evening in the icy cold waters off the coast of Bournemouth or Studland Bay.
Alice and I are going to the South Coast to shoot images for the front cover of our confessions journal on expressions of women’s sexuality that we’re currently working on and maybe these two images by Ulrich Knoblach might provide some last minute inspiration.
…and let’s all just give a thought to how cold the sea is going to be!

A treat for Katherine today 😉

One of my favourite blogs online is ‘Book Porn‘; and so it’s something of a treat to see that they’ve posted one of my own self-portraits.

I can’t help but imagine the scene at the end of Austin Powers where Elizabeth Hurley’s modesty is humorously protected by some strategically placed milk jugs.
In this shot of Lara Stone, it’s wine glasses doing the obscuring. But what is brilliantly clear is that i-D magazine know how to sell issues.
More of the arresting Vee Laroche, this time a set of images featured on a Rochester MN-based photographer’s ‘Chafografie: Imaging’ Tumblr.
The images are al clearly shot analogue, on film, on an old Yashica roll film camera and on 35mm.
It would be good to know the photographer’s name… …?

Purple Diary agains proves to be an evocative source of naturalistic erotic portrait essays, as is the case with this shoot by Matteo Montanari of Sojourner Morrell.
You can see many more images here.
Just lovely colourspace in this naturalistic nude.

A few weeks ago we posted an editorial of photography for Purple magazine featuring the model Vee Laroche (who we find breathtaking).
Anyway, here’s another editorial of the sublime Ms Laroche (by the same photographer, Darren Ankenman) for the new magazine Spirit & Flesh.
Vee Laroche also features on one the magazine’s seven launch covers, the ‘Gluttony’ issue.
