July 2019. I was lucky enough to be the photographer for Kiki Harper's first photography shoot as a model portfolio builder. Kiki is a beauty therapist, and is just about to start year three of her makeup course at college. She is interested in starting modelling, especially lingerie and swimwear, and also wanted some photographs to send to her modelling agency.

This is an example of the different photo styles that I shoot, such as Portrait Photography and Studio Portraits.

The testimonial/reference she left for me said - "I did my first shoot with Colin and he was amazing. Both Colin and his wife are so welcoming. His wife made us lunch which was beautiful! Down to earth people. As it was my first shoot, I was a little nervous which Colin picked up on and put me to ease straight away. He helped me with directions when he could tell I was looking for some. 100% recommend Colin. He has a great little workshop and dressing room, with plenty clothing to choose from.

Thank you Colin!"

The reference I left for her said - "It was a pleasure to do Kiki's first photoshoot. We started slowly and worked through lots of ideas about modelling and posing and photography. It didn't take long for us to quicken the pace and get into the flow. We tried different costumes, different moods and different looks. Kiki soon warmed to her own style, which she instinctively recognised. It was a relaxed and fun shoot. Kiki progressed so far and ended up looking totally confident and professional in front of the camera. Great images. Looking forward to our next shoot."
