Due to a studio workshop getting cancelled at the last moment this morning, myself and Emily (pictured) took advantage of the empty space and ventured to the studio to spend the morning experimenting with lighting - for experimental research and upcoming model test shoots . 

This is a little something that I achieved today. I love clear, raw photography; pores, hairs and texture create the clarity that I admire - and this kind of portraiture is what I set out to achieve.

I have been planning this beauty shoot for quite some time to feature in our magazine Avenue. I will go through the ins and outs of the styling etc in a future post, but for now I wanted to just get some previews out there. Here are a few from examples from the shoot on friday. The final images will look, and be presented completely differently, but these are unedited previews for examples sake.
