Look Alan … there's a snail in your lens

That was no joke. I set up choosing a white backdrop to sit behind the two trees and put my camera down on the grass and popped back into the studio to see how hair and make up was doing. When all ready we returned outside and started shooting at which point model 'Danielle' said something I've never heard before - "There's a snail in your lens". I thought it was some kind of strange joke but deep within the bellows style hood of my Hasselblad was sitting a snail! Certainly a new experience for me!

Model Danielle Bromley sought to add to her model portfolio. Providing portfolio photography for models can be demanding for original ideas and so for this shoot I wanted to bring a tree into the photo studio; only that wasn't possible! Besides fake sets in studios can often look … well fake! So I set up a large backdrop behind a tree. The ivy took some brushing to get all the cobwebs and dust off!
