A stroll on the beach with aliens


Yesterday I had a fantastic shoot with Chilli Photography in the quite sunny and very windy Wales! The day began slightly wobbly as I had forgotten that my phone contract was due to expire - so I no longer had a phone with which to text ahead and let Gemma know I was on my way. But luckily our previous communication had been good and Gemma and JJ were there waiting for me when I got off the train.

A cup of tea at JJ's and an outfit change later and we were off to the beach, myself in a very little dress and a blanket to shield me from those Welsh winds! Despite the slightly cold
weather it was a nice day for the beach and there were a few groups and walkers dotted around.

We found ourself a nice spot slightly further away from the curious onlookers (jokingly referred to as my fan club - although I sincerely doubt they had any intention whatsoever of becoming a fan of mine) and began to shoot.
Around an hour or so (I had very little notion of time whilst shooting) later, we moved up the beach for a change in outfit and scenery and found some
very conveniently positioned rocks. I watched on from a nice comfy mat while Tony and JJ expertly positioned lights and set up the camera and then it was my turn to climb!
It was
actually much easier than it looked, and I was up and ready to rock in no time (note the pun)! As the outfit and background were so different I am quite
confident that we successfully managed to achieve a very different look to those shots taken before.

We then returned to the studio for pizza and for a final change involving myself as a giant and some flying saucers with some very interesting results! What a fantastic day!
