LukeMary-247
Luke & Mary managed to avoid the poor Kent weather that was forecast on Saturday for their April wedding at St Alphege, Seasalter near Whitstable. They had asked for some shots on the beach – so we had about 20 minutes (as grey clouds threatened the horizon) to work with. I had already identified in my reccie where we could shoot quickly just near the Sportsman. Using the sun to light one side of the couple and a radio-triggered flash on the other we managed to produce something that reflected their playful personality. The venue was surprisingly dark but I had packed some studio lights and pumped light into the roof space to reflect down on the tables below.

I was reading a story last week about an expose that the BBC had conducted on dishonest talent scouts, bogus model agencies and photographer scams. This sort of thing still gets me cross. I’ve already a written a guide about this which you can read in full on my website www.timstubbings.co.uk (under the model portfolio section) or by clicking here. The main point of it is that to approach a reputable model agency you do not need a full blown portfolio. I’ll say that again – a good agency will not require a portfolio from you and you shouldn’t need to pay money up front for this. There’s nothing wrong with arranging test shoots and expanding your own portfolio of images, but agencies will assess you as you are, both from your own snaps and from seeing you face to face. It’s the natural no make-up / no posing / no hair styles that will help them evaluate you early on. For more tips for aspiring models in Kent, please see the guide!
