I did a shoot in the studio yesterday afternoon with another new model - a young lady called Kimberley. She came along for a 2 hour shoot to get the basics of a portfolio together and she did really well!. It's always tough for a young model with no experience but we had a great time in the studio and her Mum was there to offer some moral support. I think she's got a great look and I hope she goes on to make a career in modelling.

Today I edited yesterday's pictures in Lightroom and also finished off some post processing from a job I shot before Christmas up in Manchester.

I had a call from a regular client about some photography at a new hospital in Manchester and that is now in the diary for late Jan. I also booked in a two day shoot in Cornwall for February of a new office development so today was a good day for new commissions.

Tomorrow I'm off to Cheltenham to photograph a college which has been recently refurbished, then on Wednesday I'm hoping to do another shoot with the lovely Amy in the morning and I've got a meeting with a very good client in the afternoon.

On Thursday I'm in London photographing some Natwest Bank branches and I'm really looking forward to getting back into town again. It will give me the chance to pop in to the amazing camera cafe (Aperture photographic) in Museum Street which is always a treat for me as they specialise in second hand cameras - particularly Leica's and Hasselblad's.

At the moment Friday is free but I'm hoping something will come up to round off a really good week.

I've uploaded a picture of Kimberley from yesterday's shoot which I've converted to Polaroid colour and faded the colour saturation back.
