I mentioned in my last entry about a photoshoot coming up, well its been and gone now. I was asked my by really good friend Tristan if I could do some profile shots for him and his business partner. Tris and Ben both started their own tree surgery business a the end of 2012 and have been going from strength to strength. They are planning a website and wanted the shots for that. Me not being one to pass an opportunity got them into the studio and told them to bring all their gear too. Tris mentioned Ben's reservations toward standing in front of the camera but we went ahead anyway. I had never met Ben before and wasn't sure what to expect but the first thing I noticed was his flat cap and beard. Brilliant. I instantly leant into their van and said, "Ben, that cap is coming with you!"
We started the shoot taking the "business" shots.
Next I got to start playing! I really wanted to capture the guys in their gear but to capture their character.
As you can see Ben loves his saw. I just love these shots. They are just exactly Ben. They sum up my first impressions of him.
Tris loves his saw too but he loves his climbing gear a bit more I think!
The final shoot is an idea I had right at the start when Tris asked me and I love it.
I had a brilliant time as I always to in the studio and can't wait for the next studio session!
