Laura (Patreon)

Shoot with Laura was the first one I organised all by myself from start to finish.

From booking model, to her traintickets, finding a location, booking a location then make up artist.

The location was a very old building converted into a pub downstairs and yoga classes upstairs and some other rooms around as well. I found it by accident, came in there for a pint and some nice food. I could hear jazz playing loudly from across the street so I couldn't resist but pay this place a visit. After that I found them on instagram and saw that there are more rooms in this building and they were happy for me to use them for a shoot.

I remember finding Laura somewhere on instagram and thought "we need to shoot together one day" and actually that one day came in earlier than I expected and we met maybe couple weeks later. She was excited that I reached out so I sealed the deal as soon as possible haha. It was very beginning of my journey with photography and that shoot was probably very first one I shot a fully nude model. 

We couldn't wish for a better place to shoot nude, there was nobody around for 99% of the time, only one time I remember, I think that was owner who walking someone around the building for some business reason and there was a fully naked woman laying on top of the bar, awkward, lol. 

A place with beautiful natural lighting, it's very own original soul, plants, jazz coming from downstairs captured and frozen in time for us to cherish. It closed shortly after we shot there. These photos will always have special place in my heart
