Following on from my shoot for Me&Yu in February. We decided another collaboration was in order. This time we were shooting their Summer collection, and so we needed a suitable bright, outdoor location to suit the vibes of the collection. Luckily, theres a wonderful area of greenery near where I live called 'Fletcher Moss Gardens'. If you live in South Manchester and haven't been, go and catch a chill on the next free, sunny day.
So, with the location sorted we needed a team. Luckily for me, the makeup artist from our first shoot, Bev Crawford (http://www.facebook.com/beverleycrawfordmakeup) was free, willing and more than able. I can't recommend her enough to anyone after make up for photoshoots, weddings or special events. Not only is she extremely talented at her calling, she is also brilliant to get on with and full of enthusiasm and ideas on a shoot- which is the ideal type of person to have around.
Styling duties were taken up by the good friend of Me&Yu Roxanne, who turned up with a big bag of clothes for us to play with. Finally the two lucky models were Elora B (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Elora-B-Model/192234484147136), who's vibrant hair matched the plum and purple tones of some of the new garments perfectly, and Andrew, who some of you may recognise from my previous Me & Yu shoot.
So, onto the shoot, which mainly entailed running around a dry storm drain, playing with dandelions and the odd can of cider- not a bad way to spend a sunny afternoon! I was happy with the resulting shots and gave them all a warm, vintagey colour treatment, which I felt reflected the clothes and the summer theme of the shoot perfectly.
