Keeping your Model Portfolio up-to-date is very important if you want to show your versatility as a model. Last year I photographed Adam’s first Model Portfolio and since our shoot he has been doing very well, now being represented by a London Casting Agency.

 

Adam Returned this week to the Liverpool Studio to shoot a new set of images updating his portfolio, working with myself, and Makeup Artist Bethany Pentelow. We shot some wonderful new images. I’m looking forward to seeing Adam’s career progress and hope to see him back at the studio next year.

Penketh Highschool Three Day Photography Tuition

by

The Media & Arts Teaching Team at Penketh Highschool in Warrington contacted me recently to book a special three day Photography Course. Teaching beginners photography, studio photography and to consult on equipment and teaching methods.

 

The school will be offering beginners photography to students in the 2012-13-school term and the session was booked to help the teaching staff construct a programme.

I really enjoyed working with the team and created a three-day course, teaching the basics of photography, aperture priority, depth of field, shutter speed and ISO. The group then brought all their new skills together in practical tuitions working with a professional model and equipment.

 

The teaching staff left some amazing feedback and I look forward to hearing about their progress in the near future. If you are interested in One-2-One Tuition or a Group Tuition session please email me. I also offer Photography Courses please check out my Course Timetable.

“Exactly what we wanted!”

 

We hired Rory to teach several members of staff at a high school about photography and were not disappointed by the quality of the training. Upon completion of the three-day course we all felt as though we had a strong grasp of the fundamentals of photography and had developed our skills considerably in a short space of time. The training was mostly practical, underpinned by the important theoretical elements that we needed in order to improve and learn.

 

I particularly enjoyed the ‘live briefs’ that were set and the immediacy of Rory’s honest and constructive feedback! Communication before and after the training was excellent. We received a full course contents email and once the training had been completed Rory sent us all the notes that we needed and a shopping list of equipment to buy for the photography course. Superb!

“Interesting, valuable/essential skills learnt from day 1″

 

We hired Rory in to help teach us some basic photography techniques so we could pass these on to the pupils. The course was very interesting throughout the 3 days, with a mixture of practical’s that got you thinking about the shoot. Rory was very professional throughout and gave us some very useful information around the world of photography.

 

The practical’s were really good, as Rory briefed us then gave a select amount of time to produce a photo centred around the brief. We then put all the photographs produced on the screen and analysed them according to the brief. This i found most useful as it got us to think about what we had produced and where we could improve. Overall, a very useful and well-run course, highly recommended!

This is England

by

This year is all about improving my portfolio with several more tests planned throughout 2012. This month I wanted to shot a retro 1980′s Androgynous style photoshoot.

 

Shot on location at Hallam Mill in Manchester the shots really remind me of the Drama TV Series This is England; feeling old I actually remember the 1980s style being born in 1982!

 

Thank you to Oliver and Hannah @Oxygen Models Rikki Finlay Fashion Stylist and Nita Malata Makeup Artist for all their hard work.

Jasmin Model Portfolio Update

by

For nearly 10 years I have been shooting model portfolios and its an area of my job I find most enjoyable especially when my clients do so well from the images I create for them.

Quite recently Singer Katy Saxon who I photographed just before Christmas dropped me a line to say

“Your pictures have got me so many jobs thank you sooo much Rory!!!!”

It’s comments like these that make my job worthwhile, making a difference.

Jasmin actress/model booked her first model portfolio with me nearly a year ago and I was glad to see her return for a portfolio update photographed on location at the Abode Hotel in Manchester. Makeup & Hair was brilliantly styled by Lisa Murray Makeup Artist.

Jasmin is enjoying wonderful success as a model, she recently shot a campaign for Episode Management in Barcelona, and will be shortly be modelling a hair campaign for a major Salon Chain. Its music to my ear’s when my clients are successful as a result of the Model Portfolio’s I help to produce.

If you are looking for a Model Portfolio, Artist Portfolio or just a general photoshoot please drop me a line I would love to help make a difference to your portfolio and career. Click Here to view my Model Portfolio Packages.

Frustration!

by

Lingerie is an area, which my portfolio has been lacking for sometime, and this week I arranged a test with Model Kate Waldron @ Nemesis Models. We shot at the Abode Hotel in Manchester with hair and makeup by Nita Malata.

Frustration! was the theme I wanted to convey in these images, and Model Kate created some amazing looks and shapes. I am looking forward to working with Kate on another project next week.

I will also be jetting off to Barcelona on the 29th for two weeks and I’m interested in testing while I’m their so please get in touch.

Mark Melia Fashion Designer Photography

by

Mark Melia a renown fashion designer in Liverpool commissioned me to shoot some of his new collection. Wanting super detail in his images Mark Requested I hire a Hasselblad HD3 for the shoot. The Hasselblad HD3 a beast of a camera boasts 39 megapixels; the sheer detail of the fabric was mind-blowing. Model Anna from Industry People created some wonderful shapes, and i’m positive the collection is going to be well received.
