But since I'm a newbie, I'm fine if someone else takes priority... Also, I would be shooting film aon an M6 and Bessa R2, but both flash hotshoes are fine. Another note is that I've done hundreds of hours of TV so I'm quick and flexible in studio situations. Another option is I'd even be happy to watch and shoot film from the sides if that works?

Paul, no problem, you can shoot however best suits you. Film isn't an issue, we have light meters - I will also be shooting film, which gives me an idea. If anyone wants to try medium format, 6x6. I can bring my bronica and you are welcome to use it, just bring some 120 film. Cheers. Andy Will be good to finally meet you Eamon.

The shoot will be essentially fashion orientated, although you can treat them as portraits if you like. We will ask the girls to bring a couple of outfits, but you are welcome to bring something else, if you are a wannabe stylist. I will probably do just that, bring a few items, coats, dresses etc etc. Inspiration? phew. Well the world is your oyster... Erm, just a couple of links to photographers I like. http://www.andreaklarin.com http://www.namikokitaura.com/ Hope this helps. Andy Well 2 models, a studio set-up and a make-up artist.

I don't want to cancel as I have booked the models & makeup artist and I wouldn't want to let them down. If we just have just three photographers, then the session will probably be a bit shorter, if we get five then we can afford to pay them a little extra to stay on a bit longer. Neil Pete

I have to admit that, before today, I was getting worried as a couple of photographers had to pull out, the makeup artist didn't respond to any emails and then today, one of the models didn't show up!! Fortunately, the model that did show up was great! She was very professional, very patient, eager to please, good on the eye (and camera) and generally a really lovely person. Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves and got something out of it, I realised afterwards that I didn't take as many photos as I'd like to have done, but I think it was a very successful day.
