The story begins on a misty September morning... Beautiful pro model Ruby Lorcan had travelled up from London for our shoot. An early call time began with hair and make up courtesy of Hannah Gill MUA. Once Ruby had been beautified by Hannah, we headed to our location of a woodland area near Alderley Edge in Cheshire.

The mist was beautiful and low lying but unfortunately short-lived. We met up with our fabulous assistants- 10 photography students from the nearby Alderley Edge School for Girls. We would be using a parachute dress designed by Daisy Cutter so we needed assistance to waft the dress to give it movement and drama! What a great job they did.... Here are some behind the scenes images alongside the actual final images to show you what was involved on the day.

The kit I used consisted of 2 Pika200 lights by Pixapro with 47" Octobox modifiers and a Canon 5dIV camera.
