Last week had a fun shoot with Jim to photograph 19 different types of leather jackets for Black Scissor tailoring. I have put a couple of my favorites up here, each jacket was shot from 3 different angles.

Leather jackets are not an item of clothing which I normally wear but there were some really nice designs in the collection.

The client had asked for an urban look for the shoot, and found a great location, a dis-used housing estate just outside of Cardiff.

There were so many cool places to shoot, it made the whole process really fun. A big thanks to Jim for modeling at short notice and doing a stellar job!

I always forget to get setup shots, but here is one for once! Each jacket had quite different features which needed to be captured. I used a mixture of natural sunlight and strobe for the shoot, depending on the particular location. Here two flashes are being used.

If you would like to purchase a jacket, you can go on Black Scissor tailoring’s website.

Next week I will be in Bristol taking photos, looking forward to that.

Friday 13th June was the Cardiff University Summer Ball in Coopers field, Cardiff. Thousands of students turned up to enjoy massive tents featuring artists such as Pendulum, Scouting for Girls and Kids in Glass Houses.
