Team Binkertson's Second Shoot

Following on from Team Binkertson the beginning, Madame Bink and I decided that we wanted to take Team Binkertson and turn it into a creative outlet for ourselves. So we decided to create one off teams for special projects. After a lot of talking and planning, the team for Shoot II was confirmed and were as following;

MUA: Gemma Sutton

Model: Ivory Flame

Wardobe supplied by: Nikita Sablier

and of course Adam Robertson & Madame Bink

So with the team set and mood boards sent to all of the new members, it was just a case of waiting for the shoot date to come around. 

Now I could talk about this shoot for hours, but I think everything you could need to know about the shoot is summed up beautifully in our blog, some please head over there and check it out:

Also the ever so lovely Ivory Flame has also given the shoot/team a little mention over at her blog, so if you don't already I suggest you all head over there for a little read and to follow her blog too, it's full of creative and beautiful images and posts.

I'm really pleased with how the images came out, firstly the location shots because it was Freezing and Raining yet both models worked so hard to make some beautiful and slightly romantic and vintage looking fashion shots. Secondly the beauty duo nude work I find just beautiful, it's clean, bright, crisp and really adds a new dimension to the previous work i've done.

Here's a little sample of the days work;

Interview on Design Splat

Design Splat - Interview

Every now and again I get asked to do an interview, which always ends up with the same old questions time and time again, this time I had Amber from designsplat asking me questions and they were really well thought out and interesting.

I'd never heard of the website before but I recommend you all go and check it out http://www.designsplat.com/?p=426

First Shoot of 2010 - Fashion Watersports with Sohui

So the new year is upon me and it's time to get working on those resolutions... my first creative shoot of 2010 was with Sohui and we'd decided to go for something a little bit different than the rest of her portfolio and something she thought a little more her. So we decided to shoot some grungey dark fashion stuff but with a twist.

We shot a few different looks but the one idea that seemed to work the best for us was the an idea involving water + fashion + spraying the water towards the camera!


My new website should actually be ready to launch soon, it's a simple portfolio site which will host my Photos Videos and be a base for people to contact me through! So keep your eyes open for a blog about that, lots of photos on there that may not have been seen by many people!

and no blog would be complete without some behind the scenes photos of Sohui and Ruby doing makeup and being silly!!

2010 - Resolutions

Well It's 2010 and the start of a new year always bring Resolutions, now I've not done them for many years, but being self employed I thought I should probably have some this year but revolve them around the business rather than myself...(although I may throw a few personal ones in)

I'm a bit OCD with my life, I like structure and to know where I'm going and what I'm doing, I don't think I cope to well with the 'black hole' type future... never knowing what/where you're heading to! So maybe I can use these as goals/targets for my year and try to make sure that atleast half the list is done by the summer and the rest by the end of the year!!

1. Shoot my first Front Cover

2. Follow things through to the END

3. Complete one Creative Editorial Shoot a Month

4. Use Assistants more

5. Create more interesting behind the scenes blogs/videos/photos etc

6. Treasure every moment I get to spend with my amazing girlfriend!!!!

7. Take NOTHING for Granted!

8. Blog More

9. Finally get my Website live

10. Go on holiday

11. Get at least 3 Awesome Publications

12. Strive to be the best photographer I can be, always learning and developing!!!

13. Help photography students who ask me for advice/help more!

14. Expand my networks

15. Keep on top of my Finances/Admin

16. Have FUN 

17. Be HAPPY with myself as I am 

18. Find new clients outside of the UK to get more work based travel done

I think that's it for my list! I'm sure I could go on AND on AND on... lol, but for the time being those are the things I want to make happen in 2010!!

Do you have any resolutions, I was inspired by my Photography Partner in Crime, Cecilie Harris and her Blog!! you should all check her out she's awesome!!

Team Binkertson Finally Happened...

BINKERTSON TIME

Sometimes in this industry there seems to be models that you speak to for aaaaaaaaages before you manage to finally get a shoot sorted out, sometimes diaries really do go against you when trying to take bookings. Well I finally managed to book my friend Madame Bink in for a shoot which was a mix of shooting for some of our favourite designers and some nude work.

Wardrobe was generally donated to us by Lady Lucie and Valkyrie Corsets and Madame Bink bought some Items with her from a great shop called Nikita Sablier. So with a mix of corsets, latex and vintage clothes we booked in a MUA Sarah Jane Ellis and were good to go.

The shoot was split over two days to give ourselves plenty of time, so day one was all of the fashion stuff and fetish stuff, which was a long day mixing studio and location work; but we got some really good shots and I think I managed to show how versatile a model Bink can be.

Here are some teaser shots from day one:



and the below shot is being featured in Scarlet Magazine in an advert for the lovely little shop: Nikita Sablier




Due to me going away on holiday tomorrow to relax and get some chill time in after a stressful first month being self employed i've not really had chance to edit many from the rest of our day. There are some behind the scenes videos on facebook though, lol, day 2 was made rather adventurous by climbing towers, hiding from buildings and cctv cameras, and generally just fooling around on location.

Below is a photo of Bink doing naked acrobatics up a really really REALLY tall tower!



No blog is complete without some naked Bink!
